I just recently moved my compass from a console to my wrist and find the wrist to be a much better location for it. Instead of having to unclip my console and contort it up in front of me to get a heading, I just glance at my wrist. I also switched from an Aeris (I think) compass to the Suunto...

Thanks for the report. I've got 5 days booked on the Tui Tai in August and can hardly wait.

I somehow missed this thread, but I am going (high water be damned).

Might as well update everyone: I received my DUI CF200, stock size XXL. Fits perfectly.

Neat. I'll have to check it out at some point.

Is there a stillwater in Monterey too?

A few of us will be meeting at Stillwater Cover this Sunday (5/7) at 9:00 AM in the day use parking lot. I imagine we will free dive for abalone and do some scuba dives. Anyone is welcome to join us. Additional details can be found here. --Scott

I heard back from the Timber Cove Inn. They are very interested in having a webcam. I'm going to speak with them later today to discuss some details (and find out how/whether they're connected to the internet).

What I want to know is: what happened to threads 1 and 2? Seems like something Dan Brown might want to write a book about or something.

Heh - I was wondering why the thread was allowed to get so heated until I finally saw the date. Nice work, 'banginator - this is probably the oldest thread I've seen resurrected. By the way, does anyone know where I can purchase a bang stick?

On #1, not far - maybe a few miles and 15 minutes tops between Pt. Lobos (the most south of the Carmel side) and Lovers (probably the farthest Monterey side one. For dive shops, I like Monterey Bay Dive Center. They rent nitrox and air in steel or alum and are generally good folks. You...

I e-mailed them a proposal. Will follow up with a call in a day or two and let everyone know how it goes.

I like the Timber Cove idea - sounds like it might be more doable than trying to connect a Gerstle cam and should give us a pretty good idea about conditions a little further up the coast. If we want to go that way, I've stayed there a few times and am reasonably friendly with a few people who...

Kind of a random thought, but if it's really hard to find, you might want to try making your own. I brew my own beer and I think our wort (the brewed beer before it is fermented) tastes a lot like malta. It's actually a lot better in my book, since you can make it taste however you want. If...

Looks like I am missing something. For what it's worth, I've been getting by just fine using nothing more than common sense. I make sure my hoses are plugged in a place that allows me to route them where I want to in the most efficent way possible, I make sure my o-rings look nice but...

Am I missing something? Other than not winching anything down so tight that you strip the threads and making sure you don't hook an LP hose up to an HP port (which I don't think is even possible on my 1st stage) what could go wrong here? I don't see it as being any more difficult or...

Wow - I've never thought about that, but it's a really nice point. I use cheapie hardware-store brass bolt snaps, which are pretty dull and don't have nearly as much barracuda bling bling as a shiny $12 dive accesssory, but still something to think about, given that mine ends up dangling from...

Don't do what I did, which is to decide, at about 1 a.m. as you're loading your gear onto the boat for a mini-live aboard trip, that right now is the very instant at which you must trim your excess webbing. I had been on about 8 dives with my new rig with about 18" of extra webbing. For...

Agree on the recommendations for the Carmel side (Monastery, Butterfly House) if conditions permit. If things are a little rougher, you can do fine on the Monterey side. I had never dove Lovers #1 before for some inexplicable reason, but did so the other day and was really impressed with the...
