June 2009 Hard Hat Dive and Vintage Scuba with Allan Klauda Photo Gallery

My buddy Allan, Debbie, Luis, Christine, and of course Barb all met at a quarry in Conn to do some serious Hard Hat Diving and 2 hose Scuba diving.  We all came to make a showing for the NAVED organization.  The Guys from the Hard Hat organization were great, but the folks that ran the Quarry were not very friendly to the NAVED folks.  It was a very unfortunate thing since many of us drove a long way to try to help out and showcase our rare working scuba gear.  To get the whole story please see this thread http://www.vintagedoublehose.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3612&p=31335&hilit=brownstain#p31335 it pretty much tells the whole story.

 

This Quarry will forever be known as BROWNSTAIN!

A gorgeous vista.
