    dive report 7/24

    Yestereday I went out on the Silver Prince in the afternoon to tag along with Lisa's open water class and take a few photos (oh and try out my new fusion and custom oceanliners undergarment). We went out to the aquarium and setup there for both dives. These were the first two ocean dives for her...

    Peacock Fatality Accident Analysis

    This is just my 2 cents from a psychological point of view. If you follow all the rules then you are less likely to second guess yourself. Think about it. If you break 1 or 100 rules, it will be something to later "eat away" at you if something goes wrong or you second guess which way is out. I...

    Changing wrist seals on a Fusion

    Hello all, I want to replace the wrist seals on my Whites Fusion drysuit myself and I have a few questions. I have made a jig out of wood, duct tape, and a few curse words. Now I'm preparing to remove the seals and I know that the fusion drycore has some sort of heat activated adhesive in it...

    How did you get into technical diving? When I was about 6 years old my family took me to Homosassa Springs to see the manatees and on the way out I saw a brochure that caught my eye (You know those tourist brochure boards they have in places like that). It was for Ginnie Springs and had a...

    New to California

    My first time in the cold of MoCal (and cold water in general) was off the silver prince... It was awesome. My favorite part was the kelp :D I was in a drysuit though and I have my cavern cert (working on cave) so using a light and feeling like something is above me is like nothing so I guess I...

    New to California

    Welcome! I too am pretty new to Norcal Diving. I'm from Florida and only recently got a drysuit and in to the water in MoCal. I have been kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Here are some things I have learned about the area. First: The biodiversity is outstanding. Second: You will...

    How do you prevent sunburns?

    I am getting it on surface swims. I'm assuming I'm getting the reflector effect from the water.

    How do you prevent sunburns?

    That's the same stuff I use but I still end up with a read face. Especially under my eyes.

    How do you prevent sunburns?

    I'm diving in Monterey, CA and the part of my face not covered by the hood (face) gets really sunburned in like an impressive amount of time.

    How do you prevent sunburns?

    Hello all, So, I have noticed that, since moving to norcal, I get sunburned whenever I go diving here. (I'm from Florida and it rarely happened there). So, I have tried all kinds of things but still end up red. Does anyone have any solutions to this "burning" problem? Like a Super Waterproof...

    Is that like blaming the last guy who quit at work for all the broken code you have to "fix" now? Never fails... Its always that guy's fault.

    Saturday: Point Lobos Report...

    Sounds like you had a couple good dives. I know that yesterday I got cold on the first dive. I was wearing my skiing (wicking) underwear with the Whites MKII jumpsuit without the vest/jacket. On the SI I put on the vest and the second dive was much more toasty at 47F. I did, however, get pretty...

    Glad you appreciate it and glad you have a solution for your light. As far as OOA goes... embarrassment aside... Mistakes are only bad if we don't learn from them ;)

    Dive Report: Sunday, 06/20/2010 @Pt. Lobos

    Yes, that first dive was a doozy... How freaking embarrassing to have to air share on your first dive with people you just met. Fortunately, training kicked in and everything turned out well. And that's why we practice ;) I should be able to fix my light for the cost of a battery and some elbow...
