    Name 1 Scuba-related Thing You've Done Which No One Else Has

    Hmm, well I dropped everything in about 15ft of water and swam after the boat at Electric Beach on Oahu. On the day's previous dives the owner of said boat checked the anchor after we all dropped in. I guess he didn't on this dive. I had one of those creepy feelings and circled around to check...

    Most desirable Scubapro 2nd stage?

    I sure like my S600 but I have only compared it to a Dacor Pacer and a Conshelf IV...

    When should I stop referring to myself as a beginner

    The above very clearly (no pun intended) illustrates the point I would make. I learned to dive cleaning hulls with my brother in and around North Florida. The St. Johns River, Intercoastal and many of its creek and canals. On my first ever dive not in a pool I couldn't see my fingers at the end...

    California First Time

    I guess after 20 years in the Navy the M/V Conception seemed like a luxury cruise to me! LOL :D

    California First Time

    Great report! I second the recommendation to get out to the CI. The live aboard trips with Truth Aquatics or Peace are worth every penny!

    Why do you drink Starbucks?

    I travel extensively for work and I can pretty much expect get the same cup of coffee no matter where I am in the world. I only drink the Pike Place regular coffee.

    Sanitizing BCD bladder

    If you're really desperate to sanitize the bladder you can use the CamelBak Sanitizing tabs. BCD bladders are made from the same polyurethane material as a CamelBak bladder and these tabs don't degrade the material and will make your BCD safe to drink from...lol CamelBak Cleaning Tabs - 90586-A...

    Things you've found under water

    Oooooookay Marie13... Well here's the long loooooong version which I originally posted on a friend's spearfishing site shortly after the trip. Moderators, if this is too far off subject and to long winded, please feel free to move or delete as you see fit. "....Swell continued to build the next...

    Things you've found under water

    Definitely returned. And then I had several stiff drinks. The gravity of thinking about the outcome if I had not happened into the same cave weighed heavily on me. I'm glad to have been part of the happy outcome but don't wish to experience anything like it again. Another diver on a different...

    Things you've found under water

    Strangest thing? I weight belt, dive light that was on and a mask and snorkel in a cave near shore on Santa Barbara Island. Then I looked up and noticed there was a large air pocket. I surfaced and then found a screaming, highly panicked diver clinging to the near vertical walls of the cave...

    Gear check and advice - wall of text haha

    All I can add is that as an avid lobster(crayfish) diver I second the above recommendation that you should avoid a dry suit. When I dive cold water, i.e. the Channel Islands in California I wear a 7mm wetsuit which has lots of armor on the elbows and knees. It's ugly as hell and has been...
