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!
Join NEDEG on one of the "Helmet" Rallies or attend one of the Diving Presentations and learn more about the history of diving, and how you can get to dive with the gear! NEDEG events have been attended by divers from around the world! |

The North East Diving Equipment Group will be holding a working equipment rally this May 25-27, 2024. Our traditional dive location is now called Lake Hydra! The lake is now under new ownership and has reopened this Spring, primarily as a location for diver training and certification. All dives are guided or are under the supervision of an insured dive professional. There are two ways to come dive with NEDEG this year. One option is to contact your local dive shop about organizing a visit to dive Lake Hydra. Their staff can arrange for professionally-supervised SCUBA diving tours. While you are there, come over and see us at the familiar east-side dock to dive with us on any day that weekend. The second way is to contact us directly with your information. You will then be given a QR code from Lake Hydra to purchase your tickets and then arrange to dive with us. Currently, we have one instructor that will be covering divers on umbilical and their support from the dock. Unfortunately, that means that they cannot also supervise SCUBA teams. If you are an insured instructor or divemaster and would like to help, please let us know! There have been many changes to the land surrounding the lake, but the underwater attractions are the same. Upon arrival, you will see the new warehouse which is occupying most of old site’s open area. Parking, therefore, is very limited. Divers are encouraged to carpool, and we will be shuttling persons between the dive site and Atlantis Aquatics, which operates Lake Hydra. More details to come soon!
