Hello. My Name is Todd A. DeAngelis. I am the founder of the "Quarter Century Diver's Society". My main purpose in starting the society was to bring together a group of divers that enjoy and remember the old days of diving. I decided the 25 year rule would be one that is steadfast and true. It is the only way I could think of to assure the members of the "Society" would have the level of time required as well as the early experience with the type of gear they want to use. The Idea behind the "Society" is a social one. It is not a training agency! I created it to bring together, socially, a group of long time divers that share a common interest. You need not own old gear to join. You only need an interest in old dive gear and to have been certified (by a recognized Certification Agency) 25 or more years ago. To those interested that have not been certified for 25 years, We have an associate membership available. Please feel free to join us when you have you 25 years in or take advantage of our associate membership and get to dive some of the old gear you have only heard about! All certified divers are welcome!
