    What's so special about a drysuit hood?

    +1 vote for Otter Bay! Warmest hood. When you take the hood off you head after a dive, the water than drains out of it is very warm....almost like bath water! I dive mostly cold water and I can't imagine using any other hood. My boyfriend had an Otter Bay hood that he wore for 4 years. It...

    "Things will happen" in Tech 1, Los Angeles

    I started diving April 2009. My boyfriend, Nick, is an avid diver. I thought...’man, he has so much fun, he sees really cool things, and boy does this sport seem challenging!!’ I met his good friend (and Open Water instructor), Maciej, and quickly set up the dates to start Rec 1...

    UTD Rec 2 March 2010

    Thanks, Nicole, for the reminder to update my profile! Yes, definitely don't want to get rolled again! I was like a turtle upside down on its shell. It was horrible. I practiced getting out up the ledge this weekend at Redondo tho, and have learned to wait and be patient for the next wave :)

    UTD Rec 2 March 2010

    I had Maciej as my instructor for my Rec 1 class. 9 months after being certified to dive, he asked me if I'd like to take Rec 2 with Mark and Shawn. SURE! I want to learn more. I want to be a more confident diver. I want to be an asset on a dive team. Dates are set. Maciej and Nick...

    gue fundies pre reqs

    I would say that it is NEVER TOO EARLY to start fundies. This is a fundamentals class! You are going to learn new skills and review some skills. Start ASAP! The earlier the better. They will teach you a different way to dive and it is best to learn early before you develop "bad" habits that...
