    how to dive with non-DIR divers?

    I'm in teh same boat. I've got a CF-200 drysuit that I have to intercept from UPS sometime over the next week or so before she sees it. Then I have to find some funds to take the DS course without her knowing about it. Before fundies, I'd need to get a BP, tanks and another reg and a canister...

    how to dive with non-DIR divers?

    hmm... I don't think I could get money and equipment together that soon. I recently depleted my "wife-doesn't-know-about-it" funds and need some time to build them back up, then sneak in gear. Might be able to though, we'll have to see.

    NCD Weekend in Monterey March 17-20th

    or I could just use my key to the gate, hot foot it to the public beach area and take the heat at work if the stanford folks complain :) Haven't done it yet, but it is mighty tempting.

    Any experience with O'neill 7mm J-Type suit or Pinnacle Extreme 8/6mm?

    I dive the j-type in Monterey and I haven't had any problems. as others said, it can be a bit of a pain to get into, trying to squeeze through the vest, but other than that, it's been a great suit. The only other complaint I have is I would prefer to take my hood off in a rescue situation, but...

    NCD Weekend in Monterey March 17-20th

    nope, can't get there from the shore. The research center does have a fence that blocks this area off and they get testy when people are inside their property. The beach, however is public property up to the high tide line, but you can only access it from the water. They typically chase...

    Anyone have experience with the Bare Next Gen dry suit?

    There are people at work who have the NexGen and like it. Like you, the price was a big factor for them.

    NCD Weekend in Monterey March 17-20th

    Thanks for sharing the pics Actually, there is no beach access available around here. I think the closest place to surface swim from would be Mcabe beach, which would be a pretty long swim.

    Santa Cruz in August

    I've never rented from them, but Aqua Safaris is in Santa Cruz (http://www.aquasafaris.com/). I've heard good things about them, and met them out at Pt. Lobos a couple weeks ago. I also second the coming down to Monterey recommendation. If you know your dates, you coudl probably book yourself...

    Dive Report -23 Mar 07- Breakwater

    I'd have to get a kitchen pass to make it out Sunday. I'll have to look at the conditions to see if it'll be worth asking permission or not. I heard there was a storm coming in soon.

    April 1-8, Salinas

    An all gear rental from aquarius (aquariusdivers.com)with one tank of air runs $60 per day. They then offer half price for each additional, consecutive day. I've never rented from them, but have seen some of their equipment. The owner just bought new SP regs with simple computers for rental...

    Its Official

    Also, don't get discouraged if the conditions aren't great while you are going through your classes. Summer time can really vary in visibility depending on plankton and kelp growth. Get through your class and keep diving. There are times when you can't see your hand in front of your face...

    Monterey Exposure Suit Poll

    Never tried diving dry, though that'll change soon (just got a good deal on a CF200 on ebay). The cold hasn't bothered me on my dives. I just want to give DS diving a try and found a deal I couldn't pass up.
