Hi LeeAnne, You're going to love your Halcyon BP&W. They're a good company and stand behind their products. I've purchased 2 single tank BP&W rigs from them and one doubles rig over the years. The only time I needed help with a leak in a wing, they promptly replaced it with no questions...

Huevos. You got 'em. Very nice work! Thanks for sharing the experience. Cheers, Ross-O

Hey Guys, Next time drop a car at Christmas Tree and swim from Neptune's to Christmas Tree. It's about 3/4 mile underwater. I've done it twice. With over filled 95's, we usually run out of air at the tip of the reef at Christmas Tree and surface swim the rest of the way. If memory serves me...

AVDD is a great dive club. Lots of good folks who'll treat you like family. Welcome to www.avdesertdivers.org Ross-O

Cody & fellow divers, I can't say this strongly enough - This net is too big and too dangerous for rec divers. At a bare minimum it is 30-40 ft wide and over 200 ft long. It weighs thousands of lbs. I suspect that it is 30-40 ft wide and 1250 ft long based on metering a black flag marker...

Hi AM! I had the same problem. Klee Kai's fix worked. Ross-O

Hi Guys, One of my buddies lives in Port Orchard, WA and is interested in getting his OW cert. Can anyone recommend a good shop to take lessons from somewhere in that area? Somewhere with a slant towards the DIR gear configuration would be ideal but not required. I suspect that he'll...

Hi Guys, I'm on business travel to Orlando on April 9-12. I'm hoping to stay a few extra days and get in some diving on Apr 13-14 (Fri & Sat). After checking out some of the archives here, I'm really interested in doing the shark tooth dive in Venice on one of the days and some other...

Hi Guys, I've compiled a lot of information on making nice SCUBA maps with GIS at my site. http://www.rossoverstreet.org/scuba/GIS/index.htm Ross

The problem with recreational dive accident analysis is that the whole story is never available. Buddies and non-professionals at the scene usually don't comment because they're afraid of being involved in litigation. Professionals on the scene are almost certainly going to be involved in...

It's the perfect place to improve your swimming and it can also be a lot of fun. There are several in South Bay. Torrance has a really nice one but it meets insanely early in the mornings (5AM - 6:30AM). www.lapsmasters.org Ross-O

Hi Melvin, Glad to hear that you're considering the dry side. Drysuits are of limited use for beach diving but rock for multi-dive days on the boats. The plumbing thing is no big deal and is pretty reliable. Contact me off list if you need more info. Ross-O

Hi Guys, I had a really wonderful time meeting everyone and hanging out over the weekend. I didn't get anyone's contact info so please send me an email so we can keep in touch. ross-o(at)mindspring.com You guys are welcome down here at my place or on my boat anytime! Cheers...

Here's one of the NOAA charts of the area. http://diver.net/ross/GIS/noaa%20chart%20SCI.jpg Here's an aerial shot with a GPS waypoint of Little Flower overlaid http://diver.net/ross/San%20Clemente%20Island/dive_sites_zoom.jpg Ross-O (getting out of control with all of my posts!)

Hi Guys, I was hoping to do some more work to these before making them public but I'm about to be out of free time for a few weeks. I recently made some maps of La Jolla and put them on my site. Hopefully they will provide some insight. http://diver.net/ross/GIS/index.htm Cheers, Ross-O

Here are the pics to go along with Claudette's report. Ross-O's Redondo Canyon Page It was a good time! Ross-O

You guys just had to drag me into this one, end years of lurking, and cause me to make my first post in yet another SCUBA BBS, didn't ya??? :14: Although tasty, Sheephead are the easiest targets on the reef. They always enhance a dive because they aren't afraid of you will hang out with...
