So far the "Friends" have members from Holland, Poland, France and Germany. Here they are preparing for their vintage dive. |

(SEAP) members,
in Melbourne, Australia (2008).The small center tank
is the world's
first single hose SCUBA, the 1952 Porpoise. The
small twins are the
world's second single hose, the 1954 Sea Bee.
Vintage diving here
usually includes these early single hose units as
they predate the
importation of the French style double hose to
Australia.
