    Where to find horn sharks in Southern California?

    Not sure if anybody said it yet, I didn't want to comb through all the posts - Malaga cove/Haggerty's in Palos Verdes, but especially Malaga cove. There are tons of them out there.

    Casino Point Conditions today (3/29)?

    I am going to Avalon tomorrow through Wednesday (March 30 -April 1), and I am trying to remain optimistic about the diving conditions despite the big northern swell that is moving in. Has anybody heard what the vis was like at the Casino today? I will take as little as 10 feet, I just want to...

    Catalina Dive Park Damage?

    Has anybody checked on the condition of the Sue Jac? And has the kelp made any kind of comeback since the fall?

    Locker situation at Casino Point

    I am planning on taking a day trip to Avalon to do some diving on my birthday. I haven't been to the Casino since last year, and the locker re-installation project at the point was still idle. Have the new lockers been in installed yet? If not, are the lockers near the boat terminal large...

    Casino Point Video,Giant Sea Bass+ GoPro Hero3 Black Review for DIVERS!

    Yes try looking up more. This one was pretty high in the water column for the most part and like you said, was in the vicinity of the small wrecks. It was a strange encounter with a GSB from what I have seen posted on youtube. Out of the blue I see this huge face swimming directly at me at me at...

    Casino Point Video,Giant Sea Bass+ GoPro Hero3 Black Review for DIVERS!

    Sorry to disappoint you both - there are limitations on the amount of macro slug pornography I can put out while shooting with the GoPro. The wide angle prevents me from getting those juicy and highly erotic nudibranch money shots. Didn't mean to get you all worked up for nothing! No Hermissenda...

    Casino Point Video,Giant Sea Bass+ GoPro Hero3 Black Review for DIVERS!

    So I went over to Avalon to dive the Casino on August 7, my birthday which got me a free round trip to Catalina. I did two dives while I was there. I managed to find the Giant Sea Bass out over the Kismet and Sailboat wrecks. This one was alone and not very interested in hanging around for the...

    Black Rock, Dive Video + Bonus relationship advice

    Wow, that's pretty tragic. For Merry's sake I really hope you two stay together. We did do some snorkeling. The best times we had on Maui were the two snorkel boats we managed to get on. The first one took us to Molikini and Turtle Town. The second took us to Honolua Bay and Slaughter House...

    Black Rock, Dive Video + Bonus relationship advice My girlfriend and I took a trip to Maui in early June. While on the island I made five shore dives I wish I could I say I had made 15+ dives, but my girlfriend is not a diver, and this was not a dive trip (which I was constantly reminded...

    Honeymoon Cove, Palos Verdes - Dive Video

    No kidding. I usually take a butt plant a couple times on the way down; not the steep part, but the rest of the trail with all the loose dirt and rocks. I regret not filming the rest of the trail. It would have been great to get the way back up on video and a first person perspective, but this...

    Honeymoon Cove, Palos Verdes - Dive Video

    Visibility was good that day, very blue with particulates, but the video came out super green. I did the best I could with the white balance to make the video look as it did to us on the dive. I try not to make it look better than it was; My goal is always to represent the experience as it felt...

    Long Point Reflection - Marineland video

    ---------- Post added May 24th, 2013 at 11:21 AM ---------- It is a testament to the power of the water over the rocks at Long Point, even on a gentle day. Frank and I usually enter and exit at the point so we can spend more time on the pinnacles and less time swimming. We have exited in...

    In an Octopus' Garden in the Shade: Casino Point Dive Report 5.12.13

    Nice pictures Frank. Love the chromodorid and the first octopus shot, and the eel and the kelp shot. I like them all, especially the one with me in it ;). You really nailed it. I will have the videos for these dives posted in 2 weeks or less (fingers crossed.)

    A Very Dry Fish Finally Gets His Honeymoon

    It was great to be back in the water with my best friend. As most of you know, Honeymoon cove is a REAL shore diving experience, complete with 45 degree angle trails, loose dirt, and a decent surface swim. Truly an invigorating experience to crawl up that last section of the hill, chest heaving...

    Solo Sunday Services 10.28.12 Long Point Marineland Dive Report

    Wow I have never seen a fringehead at Marineland. Cool find. Sounds like a solid dive. I wish I could have been there, but at least I was spared the reminder of the travesty that is the local DFG. Seriously, what a joke. No boat enforcement? Local officers don't even have the facts straight...
