I'm aware of the Sea Otter Classic, and I am used to a rise in rates during a big event. However, $383 for a Queen Room? She also told me over the phone that they are raising their rates. I found a place to stay that was reasonably priced (1/2 what Lone Oaks wanted) considering the events of...

After years of catering to the dive community with reasonable rates they seem to be turning their backs on us. They have nearly tripled their rates for Friday - Sunday making it prohibitively expensive. They have not updated their very outdated rooms, simply raised their rates. Just wanted to...

Yes, the annoying Monastery Berries! They get into everything and you will still find some in your gear or bag or box years later.

It's not tidal pull, it's geography. The Carmel Canyon actually touches land at Monastery. A short swim from shore and you are in 200 feet of water. This makes not just the beach very steep but the entry/exit as well. The waves break down and create this backwash that will pull you under. These...

Thank you. I won't state my opinion on the subject on this thread as it would be inappropriate and disrespectful, but thank you for cluing me in on what the acronyms mean.

Can I ask what "MOF/NMOF" means?

What a weird weekend in Monterey. Yesterday was pretty rough but the vis was about 15 feet in the morning. By the afternoon even Breakwater became un-divable. After the students I did some fun dives with a friend but around 3pm the 10ft tall breaker at the North entry was time to call it a day...

Yes, you should totally have one and wear it somewhere very easy for you to comfortably retrieve it when you need it. Get it now before a fisherman hooks you and you wish you had one.

Ain't that the truth!!! Working with students I've actually gained this superpower to simultaneously watch six people put their gear together and notice every little thing. The ones that look confused/uncomfortable setting up their gear I give extra time to and show them things in detail, and...

As a DM, if you came up to me at the start of the day and explained the amount of diving and training you have received in the past 9 months I would probably say something like, "Awesome! You sound just like me! Got certified and became completely addicted." I would then happily put you with...

That was amazing. Thank you for sharing. My best friend is retired Navy & U.S. Coast Guard. I love to hear his stories about the U.S.S. Ranger (CV-61). After years aboard he was still serving on her when she made her final cruise.

My deepest condolences to you and her family. She was so young.

It's all in the jaw pop. Practice makes perfect.

What!? No California? You're missing out if you don't hit Monterey.

That sucks. I hate thieves. Where in Monterey was your truck when it got broken into? What stuff was taken? We can keep an eye out for it.

Hi! I am in Monterey every weekend. I can tell you with certainty that the water is 55F pretty much year 'round. When will you be in Monterey? It would be so much fun to meet a ScubaBoard person and it would be my honor to dive with you or be your dive guide one day during your visit. Have you...

Very nice report! It sounds like you truly enjoyed yourself and you hit all the right dive sites, especially Point Lobos and Monastery. By they way, we call the sand "Monastery Berries." Anyway, that my office and you'll find me there every weekend. I'm really glad you did so much diving. I've...

Herzlich willkommen Sir Heiko!

That's an awesome idea. I would totally do that. Can any ScubaBoard MegaDive veterans give me any pointers for for a Monterey, CA MegaDive?

Are there ever any ScubaBoard events on the West Coast?
