    Doc Wong Warships to Reefs Update

    This is all new to me. I wish I had known you were pushing for this in the Humboldt Bay area. I would have loved to help with that. I live in Eureka and have often wondered what it would be like to have a reef ship in the area. Doc if you get back up to this neck of the woods (literally) let...

    Hey all, taking the next step in scuba bliss and doing my first liveaboard in Thailand in Feb 08. 4 day/3 night to the Similans. What should I bring, and what should I leave at home? I'm going to try to bring my own gear (even though what I have was not purchased with going over seas in...

    M/V Black Manta, any opinions?

    Thinking about doing the Similians this Feb. Black Manta (4 day trip) looked pretty good. Anyone have any experience with them (good, bad, indifferent)? In addition, when I get back into Phuket, I was considering doing the Phi Phi island overnight from Phuket. Anyone done it? Thanks

    Where does one dive at Whiskeytown?

    Dove today at Oak Bottom. Pretty much as you described it. Missed finding the bridge somehow. Found the Culvert. My first experience diving in limited vis so I found myself getting disoriented especially if accidentally touched bottom and stirred up the muck. Only did one dive as i tweaked...

    "Dive Locker" brass plaque needed.

    I've seen those that you guys have listed but I'm looking more along the lines of what I saw here:www.wayzatanautical.com/nautical-decor-brass-plaques.html I saw a really cool one years ago with the old navy dive helmet on it. But so far my search has proven fruitless. Sorry 1 T sub.....don't...

    "Dive Locker" brass plaque needed.

    Ok, I tried for about an hour searching for the brass "Dive Locker" plaque on line and could not find it. Who knows where to get one? It will grace the portal to my dive locker (aka: garage bathroom). It will complement the Submarine dive alarm I put next to the potty (aaahhhh wooo gaaahh...

    Diving North of Mendocino? Humboldt?

    I just finished my aow. We did the deep stuff off of Crescent City (Star Rock) and then came in shallower for the 2nd dive (steamboat rock). That being said, it was a very mellow day as far as conditions were concerned. The rest we did on the Smith River (Early Hole). I live in Eureka too...

    Dive report: Crescent City

    Thanks for the encouragement. Diving up here is very iffy. All dependent on weather. Just received a good dousing of rain which will louse up the diving for the next couple of days. Alot of rivers up here, so rain=run off. CC, if the weather is good, is a nice place to dive. Water is...

    Dive report: Crescent City

    Dove off of CC as part of my AOW course. Dive #1 was at Star Rock, about 2 miles off shore from CC. Prior to entering water observed 3 Stellar Sea Lions on the rock and one swimming on the leeward side. Man those males are big. Swells were small (2') wind was minimal. Water temp at surface...
