    Diver sick on rigs dive Sunday 8/4.

    Anyone knows what happened on the boat (don't want to name it or is it OK?) at the rigs Sunday? Heard call to Coast Guards over radio, sick diver on O2, throwing up, getting better and walking after 15 or so minutes on O2. I think they ended up requesting EMS at the dock.

    Zeagle Zipper BC for a kid

    I came a cross a discontinued Zeagle Zipper BC for my 10yo son. I've had an issue with BC for him for a while. We tried all different BCDs, but none fit right. He doesn't like jacket styles that seem to be the only option in his size but even those don't fit right anyway. I was about to break...

    Any local private guides/DM in Los Angeles this Sunday?

    Anybody would like to help us this Sunday for the first cold water dive? Me and my son, 10 year old. Both recently (end of August) certified in warmer waters... Both feel comfortable in the water, need some more work on buoyancy control (well, at least for new divers). We are self-sufficient...

    What wetsuit for a kid

    With my son we are new divers and need to get exposure protection appropriate for SoCal. My son is tall and muscular 10 year old. Nobody would ever call him fat but he wont qualify as a skinny kid, no way. He is about 100LB and about 5" tall. Broad shoulders, thick leg muscles and some biceps...
