    Great moray; I didn't see that species.

    Anyone dove w/ fluid behind eardrum?

    I'd definitely get it checked out. If your 'number of dives' thing is accurate, you're a fairly new diver, and I can certainly sympathize with being a bit task loaded in general which can cause you to not clear your ears early enough. I've done that myself, though I don't think I ended up with...

    Mistake thread......

    Hmm... Combination: Chased jellyfish on safety stop until buddy was getting quite low on air. When I got up, tried to clip my BC onto the kayak, discovered the rented tank was about 10 lbs heavier than I thought, sank my kit, tried to retrieve it on buddy's stuff, realized at 20' it was a...

    Witnessed a panic attack

    We were taught to reach or throw as a first gesture. Fun poolwork. Thrash, kick, panic. My instructor could clear a surprising distance when going into "panic" mode as you were approaching him. Keep those fins in front of you! Search and rescue was pretty hairy since we were at Folsom...

    New diver, no diving partner, what do I do?

    He came swimming along after us (the first time, since we ditched him, I guess, and caught up with us). Jim's tank strap was undone totally, and I can't imagine how else it could have happened, but Fred played hero, and we figured "whatever". So far, nothing particularly weird except that...

    New diver, no diving partner, what do I do?

    He forgets people. When I was diving off John's boat, he came up and was asking me if I was going off a boat, and which boat, then asked me if I'd ever dived Point Lobos, and when I said I had, he said we should dive Point Lobos together, etc... so I wandered over to the people getting ready to...

    4/14 North Coast

    Looks like you guys had a blast! I was wrestling lobster in Reno, but hoping to head out in the next coupla weeks.

    New diver, no diving partner, what do I do?

    I rarely mind diving with newbies. One of my favorite dive buddies had like 20 dives under her belt when we paired up. It's fun to watch people gain new experiences. My problem is finding buddies that don't mind diving with photographers, but actually I've gotten quite a number of good...

    Regulator service

    My reg needed some servicing after about six months. It's been a little abused a couple of times, but nothing out of the ordinary. It didn't get horrendously dangerous though. It was putting out too much intermediate pressure which was causing a light free flow in the second stages...

    Looking for Monterey Dive buddies

    LOL, I love that joke. Easter weekend I'm planning to be in Reno though if I can make it over the pass. Not too much diving there unless we get a melt!

    Anyone come across an electric eel while diving?

    Uhhh... actually that was me, trusting both our instincts over my "broken" compass. But it's your fault for trusting a woman you know can't navigate her way out of a wet paper bag. If it has a white buoy tied to it, I think I might actually have a good chance. They should do that at all...

    Paintshop pro x

    On the color correction, I'm not sure specifically about X, but they should have a function under like "Adjust" "Color balance". I wouldn't go automatic, but go where you can manually adjust the red, green, blue. Play with shifting the red up and the magenta up and just sort of get a feel. It...

    Taking pictures in Bad ViZ

    I'd long for that shot. I've only dived where there are moorish idols once, but found there was no getting any closer to them than that without a characteristic terrified fish butt shot. You can also reduce backscatter by putting a diffuser over the flash until you get an external strobe...

    Anyone come across an electric eel while diving?

    The wrecks? Considering I've lost *the beach* before, you think I'm going to be able to find those? ;)
