NEDEG will tentatively return

2024 Memorial Day Weekend

at Lake Hydra, PA

(Details to be announced)

The North East Diving Equipment Group (NEDEG) is a group of individuals dedicated to preserving, promoting and diving a variety of underwater gear from all around the world.

These include historical gear such as vintage and modern Navy diving helmets, modern lightweight commercial diving helmets, double hose regulators, and other open circuit gear. Learn about the history of diving and the equipment that evolved from the past.

We give a chance for sport scuba divers to actually dive some of the gear you would normally only see on television or old movies!

( NEDEG wishes to thank DUTCH SPRINGS for their many years of service to the community )

NEDEG is planning with the new Lake Hydra location for NEDEG Spring and Fall Rallies.

Featuring great visibility and warm water, Lake Hydra is an ideal location for helmet diving demos.

Check out the video clips located within the GALLERY page to see divers at Lake Hydra (formerly known as Dutch Springs) trying out helmet diving for the first time !!
