    Charter boats and a dive buddy

    I've actually had good experiences with insta-buddies, including some great experiences with ones met on this board. I think it helps that I'm a photographer, so as long as I'm not with someone who ditches me, I don't move a whole lot. I've dived with people that have cut my dive times due...

    Spouses make bad buddies?

    A. Depends on the spouse/SO. In the common "pressured into diving" scenario, then the spouse/SO shouldn't be diving because they're only doing it to please their mate and are probably uncomfortable in the water. If they both love diving, they'll probably love it even more for sharing...

    Though when you strap C4 to it and blow it up, the results are quite impressive...

    Insights from Rescue for BP/W users

    Bingo. If I'm in a state where I desperately need to be removed from my gear, they can shred anything they like, and if I'm diving with someone whose life depends on my removing their gear, I don't really care what they're wearing. Learned that during EMT training, I learned that. Nothing is...

    ? on gear

    I really like my Proton Ice. I use it to dive the CA coast. It does reduce the drymouth, though I haven't noticed any chance in the temperature of the air, as it boasts. If you get it, pick up a SeaCure mouthpiece. The one standard on the Ice sucks since as a metal reg, the PI is heavy and...

    "Gold Certification" cards

    Hmm... I got silver text. I like the dolphin card, but would like some variety. Same shot on my AOW and Nitrox cards. When they finally do that nude diving specialty, the natural choice would be a nudi-branch.

    questions about pro certs and gear

    I'm PADI, the favorite bashed agency, so I'm not trying to encourage others to the tech programs or agency bashing. That being said, I would also recommend against the DM to DI courses. You need time to enjoy diving, plus make your own mistakes in an environment where you were the one in...

    Anyone diving this weekend?

    We were in about 50' while seeing them, so no idea? Maybe they all took a day trip to the metridium fields. I do think I spotted a little tour bus. ;)

    Another Monterey virgin deflowered.....

    I've seen lots of red octopi; remember the ones during the day at Lovers 3? That was cool. I did a number of night dives off BW and never saw any octopi, but then there was one dive and we ended up on top of about seven of them! Haven't seen the eels off Coral St.! I'll have to check them out.
