That is not the case for me; I am comfortable pulling the reg out of my mouth. As I stated in my original post, the main tenet I have been taught (and believe) is that your safety is #1. Removing the regulator from your mouth does not make you safer. So far I have had no problems using my...

Last week I dove the Wharf for the Coastal Cleanup and didn't see anything like the bowl you described. There wasn't much trash for the first 300'-400' of the Wharf, under pilings. We were told not to go too far out since a boat was unloading sardines. Ben

Kenn, If Guy hasn't gotten back to you, I can give you the GPS data. I have been working with him on his mapping project and have all the coordinates. I compared your map to mine and your are pretty much on where the pipe lies. On another note, to complement your printable maps, I have just...
