Ahhh I thought so... I've seen video from the Monterey area up here, that shows a grey whale. I think the sighting might have been at Point Lobos or something like that, but not exactly sure. The video was posted here on SB, so I would think it could be found for proof, since it was a few years...

Ken, thanks for the information and no worries. I didn't take it that way. My main question was actually what brought the Humpbacks and the Greys to our waters (and even specifically the Monterey waters). I had seen news reports in the past that said that it was the sardines, but definitley...

Don't know if this mattters, but what usually brings the humpbacks and greys into Monterey Waters? I thought it was the Sardines... maybe someone who's a NorCal expert can chime in here and set the record straight...

Dang, I really need to proof my stuff before I post it... LOL

It wasn't too bad. I was nice and toasty in my 7 mil wet suit. I would say it was probably in the 60's or so. Oh yeah, one thing that I failed to mention above. When I got there there was a diver suiting up. I think he said his name was Dave or something like that. Shoot, it's been almost 8...

So it's a bit late, and I know it doesn't really count as a diver per se, but it's at least something in the water... Also there are no underwater shots here. I don't have a camera or a housing yet for me two cameras that I do have. Anyway, last Memorial Day weekend I and a few friends of...

Whhhaaatttt??? Another diver to be envied? What's going on here??? :wink: All joking aside, welcome to the board. I think you've got a great resource here.

Welcome to the boards fellow California Diver... Lucky you being in SoCal got the Channel Islands at your disposal. Be very aware that you are much to be envied. LOL

Thanks Chris... I am a little familiar with Photoshop, but I would consider myself a little rusty since it's been like almost 20 years or so since I've used the program itself (okay, I'm dating myself with this one). I think the last time I used Photoshop was when it was in version 4 (I think...

Just picked up a copy at Best Buy today and got it installed. Since I thought that there might be some experts out there, any tips? Thanks!

Haven't been there, but do they like to snorkel?

This might be off the beaten path a little bit, but since y'all are DM's and all, have you checked out Florida for it's Sharks? I do understand that there is a migration that happens with the great hammers in the Jupiter/West Palm area I believe, but don't know exactly when that occurs... just...

I was also a part of the D2D community on Scuba Diving.com before they shut it down a year or so ago. Weren't you there for a little bit?

Some might recognize the face in the Picture. It's been a while since I've posted here, but just got back on. Looking forward to being a part of this community again. Was on previously as Tracy Saunders.

Not exactly a user name change, but.... I thought this might be the best place to put this. I was on this board before as Tracy Saunders. Is there anyway that the current account and that one be merged into one? If so, I would like to keep this account as my active one and have the other one...

+1 On this, and I'll also add that if you certify in locally, you've also got this benefit: since you're in CA, if you go to other locations, they will more than likely take you anywhere, because as the saying goes, "If you can dive in California, you can dive anywhere." Secondly, it's cheaper...

Like others have said, if you don't find the "why" while learning, don't be afraid to ask. One thing I really liked about the book that I had, and I'm sure it might be different than that of the electronic version - is that in the intro, they stated that there was no "Stupid Question" basically...

I've heard that there was one up at Fort Ross ( I believe), but I don't know the exact location of it. My instructor was talking about his DM going there one time and he gave them the directions to get there. Is that one still intact? Might have my location wong, but I thought this one (from...

Are you able to get your tanks in there as well, or just the other gear? Thanks!

All good answers here, so I'm not going to add to it very much. Not an instructor, but when I got my course materials, they mentioned about 8 hours total. My stuff came with the books and a DVD as well. From what I understand, both go together.
