It would be an exciting ride to take that to Catalina. I wouldn't try to come back the same day though. On a nice day the ride over in the morning is pretty smooth but by afternoon the waves start picking up. I would make the crossings in the morning.

I've never been on the Peace or any others north of Redondo but the Pacific Star gets my vote out of all the boats in Long Beach, San Pedro and Redondo Beach. The food is pretty good and the boat is spacious with a couple of good sized showers in nice clean heads. The crew are nice people and...

I forgot to mention this place is also know as Long Point. Nice beach dive if you are ever in the area.

I finally got my camera in its waterproof case and took some pictures yesterday. I think the pictures came out pretty good considering the visability wasn't as good as usual and it was my first time behind the lens underwater. The camera is a Canon PowerShot S230 and the case is a Canon...

Here are some pictures I took Friday with my new camera at Marine Land off Palos Verdes. Nothing spectacular but pretty good for a first time underwater photographer I thought. Enjoy. http://www.peterwansick.com/Dive/2003_11_14/index.html

I would go with HP80. It seems you are pretty good with your air and as you dive more that can only get better. If you go with a bigger tank and are diving with buddies using AL80s you will always be coming up with extra air. While having the extra air is not a bad thing you may want to have a...

Not long ago I started a thread to help me choose a big tank to get some extended bottom time down deep. I ended up choosing the PST E8-130. The E8-130 is a great tank for diving off a boat and allows me to stay down under for some really long periods of time. I loved the tank so much I bought a...

Actually if we chartered the boat we may be able to do something creative like stop by and pick you (Bill) up at a dock on Catalina, do our dives, drop you off, then head back to the mainland.

Looks like Bill and I would have been the only ones to show. Oh well maybe next time. I had something else come up and since the turn out has dwindled so low I'm going with the alternate plan. I can't make it on the 23rd. Maybe some other time. I was thinking we might want to consider...

I was about to book a reservation and noticed that there are two destinations Avalon and Two Harbors. Where am I going Avalon or Two Harbors? I think Avalon right? Thanks

Hi All, I've been away for a few days but just read through the thread to get the updates. So I have a question. Maybe this is for Dr Bill. Do we bring tanks or a tank? Can we get an air fill right there? Can they fill a high pressure tank with a din connector? Thanks, Peter

Swimming to LB :eek: Surface swimming is a drag that's why I'm a fan of boat diving so you have to know I'll be kickin back on the ferry, not swimming to Long Beach. Is this turning into a day trip? I was thinking Saturday diving, Saturday night party, wake whenever, maybe another dive or...

I've been to Catalina a few dozen times on dive boats but never actually set foot on the island. I know there are a couple ferry boats running out of Long Beach or San Pedro, how are you all planning to get there?

Alright! This sounds like a great time. I can make it on the weekend of the 15th but not the 22nd.

Captain Roger Kidd Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr

I see no need for light before 8:AM. Rather than getting light at 6:AM and dark at 6:PM I think we should adjust the clocks so that it gets light at 8:AM and dark at 8:PM.

Sounds like fun to me too. Where could this happen? Normally I don't beach dive because it's so much work but I could make an exception for a party like this.

Experimenting I just applied some of the anti-fogging liquid then smelled my finger and noticed that there seems to be some alcohol in the liquid. Anyway I applied the liquid to the lens then rinced with a little water then wiped clean with a small lint free towel I got with a pair of high...

I didn't mention it in my first post but after appling the anti-fogging liquid and wiping off my lens it seemed dirty from the liquid. I sat there looking at the lens wishing I had never applied the anti-fogging liquid.
