[b]Originally Posted By bap: I'm close to both. Troy is a tad bigger, and a bit deeper. You could even do both in a short time depending on what amount of time you want to spend on each. View Quote I hear much better things about Troy. And no urge to go DH. I will let you know! Just think, I could dive with TWO Arfcommers on this trip. |

Looks nice! Glad you’ve been diving at least.

Would you be willing to sell me a copy?
I was looking to get something like it made and was considering asking someone on the board to fab me one. I have two VDH Krakens but only bought one backplate that has the notch to let you put it as low as it needs to go. VDH hasn’t made those since 2017. Like an idiot I planned to buy one later and waited too long. Covid has put VDH on hold as far as big projects go. I badly need one for my GF. |

I would love to mount a set of baby double 50s.
The problem is getting a center-feed DIN manifold. Likely stick with a single 95. |

That’s exactly what I need if I could find it for a reasonable price. Otherwise, it’s simpler for me to just keep the baby doubles in the single-hose realm.

Very sad...he was a year older than me.
VDH was definately a pillar for all things vintage diving. There are two other vendors out there dabbling in it still. |

Marie, sorry to hear that. May they RIP.
The more time we spend on earth, the more people come and go and things change. First trip to my LDS Amigos since new ownershop today. New owner is a friendly guy and already making changes to facilitate easier fills when crowded. Also they will keep the same business model as before...self serve fills. |

I saw on SB that the new owner of Amigos is an asst fire chief (or something like that) in High Springs. |

No idea of his other jobs/ background. I don't care and don't ask. If someone I meet throughs that around at initial meet, me: 'that's nice'. We just talked about the banks, gauges and setups. He is not the sole owner as I breifly chatted with 2nd half off site. |
