As an aside, are you getting the same gear for the prices you suggest? So, if you buy either and need a hood, one is included? Are they similar styles that make you feel good in the water? My hyperstretch is actually a full wetsuit with a hooded vest on top, so it is 14mil in some places...

Wish I could go also...I have been in Monterey the past several weekends, but am going to be at Pismo Beach this coming weekend celebrating my wifes b-day... The vis at Monestary last weekend was 40 to 50 feet....Nice dives.

You indicated So Cal, but also Monterey as possible destinations. Monterey has sea lions, harbor seals, and much more as sea life that interacts with you during dives. I've had harbor seals grab ahold of my fin and try to take it away...When that didn't work, one came right up to me, a few...

Perhaps you missed where others advocate leaving the reg out during surf entry... :banana:

I agree with this completely, and must have misunderstood you when you were agreeing with an earlier post that talked about not having your reg in your mouth... Initially, I was thinking air is good to have in the B/C when entering, but see the wisdom in not doing so. I do believe that...

Seajay does seem to still post on www.thedecostop.com.

There are a few ways to do this, IMHO. I presume your dump valve is adjustable...If so, you can crank it down a notch or two to vent more slowly. Or, as you say, you can vent less frequently, raising your arm as needed for a slow ascent... If you are overweight (easy to verify) then the...

I agree with your philosophy and appreciate your response...What I didn't see was addressing the combo of having no air in the b/c and having no reg in your mouth at the same time....Do you do this combo? If so, why do you consider this safer than having your reg in your mouth? That is...

Although I try not to dive in high surf, I don't quite understand why someone would want to deflate their B/C during entry... In the example you used above, the guy should clearly not have been diving, in TWELVE foot waves....I contend that he still might have died with no air in his...

I have to say that it isn't the profile (IMHO) that gives credibility, because folks can abuse that notion by putting down whatever is needed to get some....heh It is the comments, thoughts, and suggestions that come out of their fingers to the keyboard, in my opinion....And, bottom line...

Though I'd like to be the one, I think it was divebuddysean that was attending. :banana:

Come clean...heh What is it that you are getting brought down for that you did years ago.... :banana:

Maybe what I was calling a pneumatic isn't the same as what you guys are calling one... There is a gun a friend of mine purchased before we knew better, and he had to pump it up before a dive. we had been told that he would get about ten shots and then the charge ould be depleted enough to...

You believe that losing their entire business wasn't enough? Even though they were "commercial" fisherman, they may just have been ignorant of the law...the use of nets is apparently only banned Feb., March, and April...

take ear plugs...If they move the boat at night, you'll be glad you took them.

So, I hope you at least dived one additional time for each time you post in this thread...You *are* following your own advice, right?

From a newbie....but I've also been asking LOTS of questions, and have recently purchased a Riffe Metal Tech 3 with a track kit. [saw a 40" or so Halibut on last nights' dive, but was in a protected area and thus not armed... :( ] The length of gun goes to accuracy, maneuvarability, and...

Huh? As I recall (I can certainly be wrong on this...) the pressure of a given fill is for a given temperature...Does the statute really say that you can't overfill it temporarily, even if it is at its rated pressure when allowed to come to equilibrium at the lower rating temp? Out of...
