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...

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...

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...

Hey all, I'm in monterey tomorrow and need a buddy for a couple of dives. Anyone up for something tomorrow. You pick the place and time, I'll be there :)

Hey everyone, Yesterday I did 2 dives with the Silver Prince down in Carmel. We did Honeymoon and Mono Lobo. Viz wasn't that bad (10-20 ft.) and the surge was tolerable with a 3-6ft swell. Overall it was a couple of good dives. It was my first drysuit dives in cold water and I really dialed...

Hello all, So I was wondering where people stay when diving. I'm looking for an inexpensive, diver friendly place that is CLEAN! I often find you can only have two. I am doing a full weekend on the 26th and 27th and need a place to stay while down there for that and future trips. -Mike

So while I was going through my storage unit I found my old Dive Rite MLS dual battery behemoth that I used to use for a dual halogen video light rig. I bought the light back in 2002 and it went in storage back in 2006. So needless to say... the batteries were dead and would hold much charge...

Hey all, Does anyone know and want to tell me how to adjust my Omega's cracking pressure? I want to tweak it a bit because it seams a bit tight but don't want to drag it back to the shop to do it. -Mike

So, as I was building my O2 sensor I got to thinking. "I could build an He sensor" The problem is the actual helium sensor module seems to cost the same as a newborn child. So my mind wandered off a bit and I got to thinking that I could buy a nitrogen sensor module for pretty cheap ~$80...

So last weekend I was at Lobos and took some video of all the baby animals. Given that its Mommy's Day, I decided to put together a little video of baby seals for your enjoyment. Caution! It's friggin' cute. Baby Seals of Point Lobos on Vimeo (sorry for the jittery camera in some parts...

Here is my dilemma. I fit in a standard sized XL drysuit from the waist up on most brands, but my legs are short and I seem to be a M or L from the waist down. Plus I am a size 10 shoe so sometimes the boots are a bit off too depending on the size. I am wondering... if I buy, let's say, a...

Alright so I have a question that just popped in to my head thinking back on my Advanced cert training... When I did my AOW I did some specialty dives. Deep, Navigation, Night, etc... It was back in 2002 when I did this stuff and I tend to have CRS so I am wondering if those dives count...
