    Well, I guess no one has dived Cress st. What about Little Corona (Robert Badham)?

    Curious how this site compares to Laguna sites...lots of fish? Kelp? Anything unique to this site?

    Visibility?

    I was at Crescent and Heisler on Sat and vis was about 15'. The rain has probably screwed up vis for the next day or so, but if swellwatch's surf forecast's are accurate diving in Laguna should be good Wed-Fri.

    Anyone dived (dove?) Cress St. in Laguna?

    I have heard good things about it, but still haven't dived it. Looking for a good description of what the site is like as well as what to watch out for and what direction to head out. A video would be great if you have one. A couple of weeks ago I was in Laguna and went to Cress St. just to...

    Ever "lost" your mask?

    Yup. Around my 10th dive I was at the beach...surf was fairly big but me being the stupid new diver I was I thought "I can handle it"...well the ocean thought otherwise. I got knocked over and my mask/snorkel was ripped of my face never to be found again. Kinda worked out though...I didn't...

    Sea Lions Love Scooters! - Videos

    Nice videos! I really liked the second one...that site looks almost tropical.

    what is this for??

    I think it's pretty obvious that what you have there is a windbreaker for a mushroom. And to everyone wondering what those "D-rings" are for...DUH!; they're obviously caterpillar hammocks.

    Dive gear you own that you consider perfect

    I own all my own gear but I only have a few items that I consider perfect (by "perfect" I mean that, should these items be lost/stolen/broken/worn out, they will be replaced with the same item). Hopefully I'll get to the point where all my gear fits into this category, but for now the only...

    You're right, the OP does need that program.

    What you dislike most....?

    I wish dive shops had more gear. I wish I could walk into a shop with 20 different versions of every item (not really practical I guess, but I like big selections)...having to visit multiple shops to check out a few different items sucks. Also, it would be nice if shops had more specialized...

    solo diving sites?

    No need for me to reply since you've gotten all the answers you need, but I'm bored so I'm gonna respond anyway. DEPENDS DEPENDS DEPENDS! For the local shorediving that I do, usually I like to snorkel/freedive a new site before diving it, but sometimes I can tell from the surface that there...

    Unhappy with Slingshots, need something lighter

    I dislike splits, but there are a number of people who love them. Based on what I've read if you are going to go with splits, your best choices would be the Apollo bio-fin, Atomic Splits and Scubapro Twin Jets. I personally would recommend getting an easier-kicking paddle-fin instead of...

    Crotch-straps not on all BC's=RIDICULOUS!

    Thanks...once I have the money for an upgrade I'll have to look at everything more thoroughly and hopefully be able to try out some different rigs (including bp/w). Most everyone seems to be pro-steamlined and pro-backinflate but I've heard a few differing opinions when it come to bp's; some...

    Crotch-straps not on all BC's=RIDICULOUS!

    Yeah, I definitely wanna make an upgrade when I have the money to do so...the BC I have now is a $350 seaquest jacket-style BC and it's pretty half-assed (but it gets the job done). Not sure if I'm going to switch to bp/w though; may end up getting the TransPac or something similar.

    Crotch-straps not on all BC's=RIDICULOUS!

    I don't now why, but I thought "crotch strap=good" would be a universally agreed upon thing...how wrong I was. These were the issues I was having that the crotch-strap rectified: I didn't like putting my BC on really tight...if I put it on tight the movement would be fairly minimal but I...

    La Jolla Beta

    Water temp for the past few weeks has been 55F-58F. There's supposed to be a storm coming in this weekend so vis will be shot for a few days. Vis can vary widely...in the past couple weeks there's been 0-5ft days and 15ft days. Same for Laguna, except there were a couple of 20ft days. San...

    Crotch-straps not on all BC's=RIDICULOUS!

    So after dealing with a rising/shifting BC for quite a while, it finally dawned on me that I could probably just add a crotch strap. I went to an LDS (Wiley's Scuba Locker) and bought one for about $10. PROBLEM SOLVED! I can't believe 2 things: 1) that I dealt with the rising/shifting BC for...
