    Wrinkles/Twinduct- Do you prefer to beach walk or swim??

    Walking lets you view the dive area and assess the conditions, check for currents, study the waves, plus you get to see the babes on the beach. (or stud muffins, if that's your preference). Swimming you don't see much except the waves slapping you mask (unless your in MOF mode). Of course, it...

    Why Do Some Feel Entitled to 100% (MLPA)?

    I think the fishing industry, both commercial and sport fishing, need to stop looking at the ocean as a resource that is someone else's responsibility to care for. MPAs are just one tool for sustaining fish populations; and certainly not the most effective; but they have the advantage of being...

    Diving in bad conditions

    That's the advantage to being both a diver and a surfer; when conditions are bad for one, they might be good for the other. I rarely make an entry in significant surf, but I make a lot of exits in it; it seems that an hour of lobster diving adds three feet to the surf height whenever I go out...

    I am in a step family that might not make it......can anyone relate?

    I've been in a relationship with a mother of 3 for 25 years. The biological father was less than perfect, but he did see the kids and helped out. The two girls were hell on earth, and if I tried to intervene between them and their mom, all three would turn on me. With the boy, who was the...

    MPA survey

    Ken, This survey looks like its aimed at accessing output of the MPA monitoring rather than having input into the formation of MPAs. Is it intended for the general public or for the science/education community?

    For divers with 100+ dives - do you have a "happy place"?

    La Paz for me. We stayed in town and would just stroll down the boardwalk till our noses told us where to eat. The diving was challenging but the sea life was astounding.

    Dive buddy 4/30 - 5/6???

    (619) 221-8824 is the San Diego Beach Report, they will give dive conditions at La Jolla Cove & La Jolla Shores. Definately do the Cove is the vis is decent, it's not to deep, ( 20-30 feet) and has a ton of life to see. The Shores is a longer swim to get out to the drop off, but usually has...

    No Take Fishing Zone forming along Palos Verdes?

    The advantage of MPA's from an enforcement point of view, is they are easier to police. If you are fishing in an area where fishing is proscribed, you're breaking the law. You can monitor that from boats, from shore, probably from Google Earth. With slot and catch size limits you have to...

    No Take Fishing Zone forming along Palos Verdes?

    You really have to read the descriptions in the table to see what each proposal allows and prohibits. For instance, some of the SMCAs allow recreational fishing and lobster diving, some seem to limit it by depth. I haven't had time to review them in any depth, and won't until I get my taxes...

    Diving with sea lions at Los Coronados, at the Middle Grounds. They were riding the surge through a tunnel from the cove to the ocean. They kept looking back at us after they did it until we did it too. Finding 6 Giant Sea Bass at Italian Gardens at Catalina when I hadn't known they were back...

    Dr. Bill in the LA Times, Good Job Bill!

    Dr. Bill, Don't know if you saw this article:Old Photos Document Dramatic Decline in Trophy Fish Size | LiveScience but it highlights the problem with limiting catches as opposed to protected areas. In an open area, even with catch limits, the large fish are often the first to go. In a...

    Diving knife - Weapon or not??

    Obviously, the primary function of a dive knife is to inspire heated discussions about the purpose of dives knives, whether or not they are weapons, how big they should be, how many you need, what color is appropriate, and whether or not you will die because you are carrying or not carrying one.
