    Otter Bay 12mm Hood Review

    Otter Bay did a nice job on a custom hood for my wife. Cricket is great. There is a nice shop cat, very friendly!

    Nice first post Chris H 2, welcome. From what I hear you should enjoy those dive ops. I was out today with Aldora, tomorrow I'll be at the cenotes with Dennis from Diablo Divers/Aquanauts.

    What's up with LED prices?

    Given the cost of the non-LED lights by UK are holding steady, whilst the LED module has hit $99, I figured there must have been a bump in the cost of the LEDs itself more than just a transport cost issue. There is lots more competition in the LED dive light market now, I thought that would...

    What's up with LED prices?

    Okay, crusty clam that I am, I have surfaced from parts unknown to ask a question. I was thinking about getting a friend a dive light for xmas, and when I checked into the prices I was surprised to see how much they have risen in the past year or two. My C8eLED that I paid something like $75...

    Certified at Break Water Monterey; with picture...

    Congratulations. I think the cool water and sometimes limited vis of the breakwater make it a much tougher place to learn than in clear tropical waters, good job for getting certified!

    Dive the U.S.S. Spiegel Grove Shipwreck

    Is an artificially reefed ship properly termed a "shipwreck"?

    Ultimate Dive RIB

    I saw something similar posted by Eric Cheng a while back, a flying inflatable/ultralight combination he was using with Jim Abernathy. As for me, I'd go for a refurb'd PBY as my ideal travelling dive platform.

    flash for s60 with wpdc40 housing

    Nope, no gallery of strobed shots. The stuff I have on scubaboard is mostly just random ambient light stuff. There are far better photographers on this board using the Inon than me!

    flash for s60 with wpdc40 housing

    I use an S70 in the same housing as yours, with an Inon D2000. A fiberoptic cable picks up the flash from the camera, triggering the flash of the D2000. The WPDC40 does not allow a direct cable link nor does the S60/70 series support one, so you will need to use an optically triggered strobe...

    Catalina vis

    Got in one short but much needed day of diving on a sunny and calm day yesterday. Vis opened up to ~60-70 in spots at Pirates Cove along the northern side. Less vis and more current just across the way at Hen rock. Water temps above 60 feet were in the balmy upper 60's. The lobster hunters...

    Catalina vis

    Thanks Ken, much obliged. I heard that last weekend was in the 10 foot or less range in some of the usual spots due to runoff after the rains.

    Catalina vis

    Hi folks, I heard the vis at Catalina was murky after the rains last week, has it cleared out? Did the fire result in more particulate being carried in the run-off? Can't wait until my next visit, which may be soon! Regards, Slingshot

    Help - sail + dive + certify?

    I second a look into Juliet, I haven't been diving with them but I paid a visit to the boat when she was docked near my hotel in Miami this spring, nice folks. Blackbeards and Cuan Law also come to mind as sailing charters. You should always keep in mind many "sailing" charters will often...
