Sound slike you have more than a month befor ehte test. If I were you, I'd also use that time to build up your cardio performance. A motnh is a long time and you can make a lot of practice. Running is good, as is swimming. it might be more work, but you'll feel better about it in the long run.

looks like things are supposed to calm down starting tomorrow and into Saturday. hopefully vis will clear up as well.

talked to friends that were out at Breakwater today. Waves were really high and vis, even out at the barge, was about 3 feet.

Looks like it might flatten out a bit by Saturday. http://www.garlic.com/~triblet/swell/wamglance.html http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mtr/getcwfzone.php?sid=MTR&zone=PZ555 PZZ555-575-262300- /O.CON.KMTR.GL.W.0008.000000T0000Z-070427T0400Z/ PIGEON POINT TO POINT PIEDRAS BLANCAS TO 20 NM-...

haven't looked at the forecast, but the swells have been pretty rough the past couple days. I haven't been in the water, but it doesn't look like vis is all that great right now either. Talked to people who dove Hopkins deep yesterday and they said vis opened up around 70 ft.

I have it and like it. It isn't a tri-view mask. As for peripheral vision, it does seem to offer more than the Cressi Big Eyes I used before. The mask is easy to clear. I'd recommend trying it on before purchase though (as with any mask) it may or may not fit your face.

Not certain, but I imagine that everything south of Rio Road will be unreachable.

I've wondered the same thing. Since nothing has been posted about his passing, I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that he is the only one who has access to the server/account. I wonder if we could somehow gather funds and contact his family and try to keep the site alive as a memorial. Edit...

DUI will send you samples of the two materials to show you the difference.

Pacific Grove is right on teh backside of the Presidio.

Did you check the motel 6 in Marina? It's a shorter drive and you'll deal with less traffic. I imagine it might be a bit cheaper. You might also want to check the address of the Motel 6 in Salinas. For the most part, Salinas is a nice city, but it does have its bad parts. I'm not sure where...

There are a number of shops where you can rent equipment and arrange for DM to accompany you on a dive if you are uncomfortable leading your sons into the water. As long as you get the proper protection and take the right procautions ( hydrate, get rest, don't push your limits, dive with...

I did too. i just got my DS in Thursday, just in time to bring it down to my parents pool to try out for th eweekend. I was able to take 21 pounds off of my rig. I'll have to add a bit back when I get in the ocean, but I'm still very, very happy. The cold hasn't been an issue, and I probably...

I personally think that if you have a good idea of what you want, and keep an eye out, you might be able to find a great deal on a used suit and save a lot of money. I recently purchased a CF200 off of ebay for $300. It was the right size, and from the pictures appeared to be in very good...

Welcome to SB and to No Cal diving. I'll echo what the others said. I used a 7mm farmer john when doing my certs. I then bought an ONiell J-type 7mm with an integrated 5mm vest. I've never been cold on a dive with either of the two, haven't tried a straight 7mm step in yet. That said, I'm...

very likely yes, unless my days off change between now and then. I've been looking for another job, but who knows what will happen.

great photos. I need to make it out to Lobos again soon before the kelp gets thick.

Indeed, it does--especially in the summer.

I second Ben's suggestion. I had my parents stay in billeting on the Presidio back when I graduated and it worked out well (of course that was more than 10 years ago). The only downside to this is coming on and off post through the inspection points. There's a motel 6 out in Marina that's...
