You know you're an old timer when

Knavey once bubbled...
You know you're an old geezer when you complain about how all the newly certified people are doing it wrong, and yet you have forgotten how bad your first few dives went many years ago.

You're an old geezer if your swim test was 2 miles each way. Both ways against the current.

You're an old geezer if you see a picture of Mike Nelson and think: "God, he looks so young!"

Now I'm not at all that I qualify as an old fart diver, but I do have two back packs one of wich I still use and I have a tank that has a top mounted valve without a reserve feature. I removed the reserve valve on two tanks and plugged the hole. Oh and by the way Reef Seal I was in Sea d Sea a couple of weeks ago in the Village. I had my daughter certified there maybe 8 yrs ago.

When your US Divers Sea Eagle Dive Knife was 14' long, and counted against your weight requirements.
