I know, it's a tough life, isn't it? :-) Well, I originally posted last week when I first found out about the trip, and I really didn't know what I was going to be doing. I have a bit mroe info now, and am looking for some advice. I'm going to be in Hawaii for work from Friday, August 5th...

I posted this on the CocoView chat as well, but thought that more people who know LAX might be found here, as it's not really a CCB specific problem. Anyway,here's my problem. We are scheduled to go to CocoView on Saturday, July 16th - our flight out of the country from Los Angeles leaves...

Hi all, I just found out that i'll be heading to HI for work for 1 week in August. I have to work pretty much all day M-F; Mon.-Wed. we'll be in Oahu, then Thurs & Fri in Kauai. My boss told me I could go the Friday before and stay through Sunday if I wanted. I'm definitely going early and...

Hi all, I think I've read all of the threads here on Cocoview, but this hasn't been explicity addressed. We're going there for the first time mid-July (this is actually my first ever dive trip - all of my 120+ dives have been local, so this is going to be my first warm water, as well as my...

I couldn't decide whether to put this in the humor section, or here, but in the end, I decided that people who have been dieters or are trying to lose weight can better appreciate these. If any of you grew up, as I did, with a family constantly going through Weight Watchers (both my grandmother...

We're talking about making the Jan. or Feb. Wrinkles' dive a boat trip. It's looking like the Pacific Star, board in the evening and do 2 dives in Catalina that night. Then, approx. 4 dives the next day, to return that evening. Conditions depending, we'll hopefully make it to the backside of...

Ok, with bug season starting tomorrow night, I went out and purchased my fishing license. Didn't want the opportunity to grab the world's largest lobster and not be able to take it because I don't have a license (yeah, that's why I wouldn't catch it...). Anyway, this is my first year...

Help! I have been put in charge of helping to find speakers for my dive club's (the Shark Bait Dive Club ) meetings. The woman who has been doing it has hit a brick wall and run out of ideas (it doesn't help that she's been doing it for years, and was happy to unload that chore onto me)...

I posted this last week in the So Cal Olympus User's Group forum, but haven't gotten any responses. I'm not sure if people just didn't see it, or weren't interested, but since more people check out the So Cal forum than the Oly group one, I thought I'd post it here as well. I guess if I still...

I am just starting to learn how to use Photoshop Elements, so please be patient with me. There's a lot I'm trying to learn how to do with it, but for now, I was wondering how you go about adding the copyright text to your pictures? I know that the ones that most of you post to the board have...

I recently purchased a Cobra computer and new Legend regulator, and wanted to add both of these to my existing DEPP policy. I've been trying to call them for the last week and a half, and keep getting a recording that all lines are busy, to leave a message and it will be returned within 24...

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good, small dive boat in the LA or Orange County areas? My dive club wants to charter a boat to do a night dive during lobster season, and since we will probably not be able to fill a boat that holds more than 6-10 divers, we're looking for a small...

I am looking into getting an Aqualung Legend - when I took my rescue class a year ago, the person I was buddied with to practice buddy breathing had one, and I was really impressed with its performance then. Now that I can afford to upgrade my reg, and while Aqualung has the $100 off special...

Can someone please explain to me the deal with parts for maintenance on regulators under warranty? I know that I've read here, many times (usually in the online vs. LDS debates) that some (most?) of the name brand regs will give free parts with regular maintenance of their regs by a qualified...

Inspired by Dee's cheese soup recipe, I tried the Velveeta Lite with a little bit of hesitation - after all, I HATE those diet foods that taste "diet", you know? But, I have to say, that light Velveeta is awfully good stuff, just as good as the original (I don't notice any difference between...

Ok, I've been reading reviews and shopping for a camera for months now. I'm finally convinced that the c-5050 will be the best camera for what I need - currently, something with an auto setting while I start in digital, but also something that can upgrade out of auto while I learn and won't...

I am so excited! I've been signed up for our dive club's upcoming (mid-August) 3-day trip on the Conception for a few months now, but now that it's getting closer, everyone was talking about it at last night's meeting. After hearing all of the talk about the comfy accomodations, great food...
