Hi there! I am late to the thread, sorry. I won't recap what others have already said, however I will say that we rent doubles for many of our tech customers and students. We are in North LA County, and rent double 72s, AL80s, LP85s, and HP100s. We also rent BP/W with doubles wings and doubles...

+1 for Ursuit An actual DRY dry suit! ;) Its a great company too. Solid workmanship and customer service.

We use / sell these and these. I personally prefer the shorts as they are comfortable and very similar in size to my dry suit pockets, so I carry the equipment on every dive from just wearing the shorts, to 3mil, 5 mil, 7 mil, or dry suit.

Hi there, You will love Catalina and the Avalon Underwater Park! Catalina Divers Supply and Scuba Luv (operated by Catalina Divers Supply) are both there as well as Ron Moore's Dive Catalina. Right at the dive park is the Catalina Divers Supply fill station and rental shop. They should have...

The Ocean Reef Neptune FFM are not over pressure (what some people call positive pressure masks). Then do not freeflow when not on the divers face. They fit, breathe, and function well. AS stated above, FFM do require additional training and practice. They have the ability to add communication...

I have dived several FFM, including the Guardian and the Ocean Reef and also teach FFM. I have not dived the Kirby Morgan. That said, I never enjoyed diving the Guardian, but I LOVE my Ocean Reef Space Extender IDM! They feel good, fit good, never fog, never flood, breathe well and easy to...

One room left on The Belize Aggressor in May ;)

This is a very good question, and one that I get asked fairly often. I tell people all the time to interview instructors before enrolling in a course. In this case, if you find an instructor who will allow you to "tag along" or "hang out in the area" or just does some quick skills as a small...

Welcome! It's hard not get the diving bug once you try it, and you are in a great place for diving. NC is my favorite place for wreck diving!

The most correct answer is to bring your analyzer with you, and always analyze your tank before each dive. You can do the math based on tank volume and working pressure/fill pressure and a known starting point, however that would be only an educated guestimate. All that said, you should be...

Hi Travis, It sounds like you are taking Fundamentals with a rec pass in mind, in a single tank configuration. First off, you should be directing all questions specific to your gear configuration and training to your instructor. Now that I got that out of the way, if you are talking about your...

Michael is correct, however a little more on wings for single tank vs. double tanks: A double tank sized wing will "taco" or wrap around your single take making it very difficult to manage the gas bubble, vent gas, etc. It is more than just being more than you need. It is actually problematic at...

We sell and service both Aqua Lung and Hog regulators. Both are good regs. A high quality AL beats the HOG, no question, however in your price range the HOG may be a better choice than to lower end AL. Service, repair, and support are also a factor you should consider. Aqua Lung (and Scubapro)...

Fourth Element hands down my favorite! I wear Xerotherms for down to about 60 degrees, Arctics down to 45, BOTH if the water is colder than that.

As stated above, warmth of a drysuit is more a matter of undergarments than the drysuit itself.... mostly. Keeping you dry is the suits main job. All that being said, after diving several DUIs over 10-12 years (as well as some other brands) I decided to try Ursuit out of Finland. I dove the...

Welcome to the Wonderful World of West Coast Diving! ….and I second the Scopolamine patch... life saver

I can, in fact, personally guarantee my umm... their service to be great!

Oh, what the hell.... I hear these guys do a GREAT JOB! ;) Services

Hi naui_bigfoot, It's smart to ask for personal recommendations. It's also a good idea to read reviews, for example: Scubatude Yelp Reviews :)

The Ocean Reef G. Diver mask with comms are the best that I have used, both as a diver, full face mask instructor, and public safety diver. There are some additional pieces I would highly recommend including Surface Air Valves (SAV) and quick connect hoses for both the FFMs and your octos.
