    Picking a new op with pier pickup at Blue Angel

    I just checked my dive logs from my BA dives last June and I splashed at Columbia Deep at 0947. I think the boat left the BA pier at 0900.

    Blue Angel dive op?

    If my non-diver wife is NOT going with me, I always stay and dive with BA. My non-diver wife wants the white sandy beach stuff, so when she does decide to join me, we always stay in our favorite condo at Residence Reef and use either Jeremy with Living Underwater (if he has room) or 2nd choice...

    Coz Quick Reference Cheat Sheet

    Even though I have many dive trips to Coz, and I do log my dives, I am still not sure what to say when the DM asks,”Where do you all want to dive today?” Of course, there are a few dive sites that are easy to remember such as Devil’s Throat, Barracuda, Santa Rosa wall etc. Is there a quick...

    Donate Scuba Gear in Coz?

    Good suggestion! I just do not want to deal with the hassle of selling gear (taking & posting pics, back & forth negotiations, packing & shipping, etc). I actually tried to donate it to a local dive shop that sponsors a Boy Scout dive group, but since they sell gear, they were not at all...

    Donate Scuba Gear in Coz?

    I have a bunch of scuba gear that I can bring with me to Coz in early June and donate to a local worthy cause. (Not a Dive Op...) Some of it is brand new and has never been used. (Dive Rite BP/W that was a raffle prize). I have some ScubaPro fins, masks, snorkels, compass, slates, DSMB with...

    Roll call: Any old NASDS divers out there?

    I was certified NASDS through SDDS as well! My card says 1970, but it is a replacement card, so it was probably earlier. My Instructor was Dave Forsyth. Did you have the "harassment" training dives in La Jolla Cove? All the students formed a circle on the bottom at about 30', and the...

    Question Tipping

    Speaking of low tank fills...the Dive Ops I choose either carry extra tanks or they check psi before I board. I am not shy about rejecting a low-fill tank. I realize they do not fill the tanks, so when a Dive Op makes sure I get a full tank, I make sure to tip them well.

    Question Tipping

    If you dive with the same Dive Op for your entire Coz dive trip, the DM and crew will know real quick who the cheap bastiches are who don't tip...

    Any tips on how to get on dive boat with people of same skill level?

    For some reason, I am ALWAYS an air hog on my very first dive when I go to Coz. It doesn't matter what I do to control my air hogness either. It is what it is. The 2nd dive and all dives going forward, I am one of the last to surface and I have 800+ psi on an AL 80 most times. On my last dive...

    Long weekend hotel recommendations

    Blue Angel will be perfect for your needs! They have all ocean-view rooms, and you can literally sit on your balcony drinking coffee or enjoy a great free breakfast at their on-site restaurant and watch your dive boat pull up to their dock that is just steps away. The Blue Angel Dive Op is...

    Any tips on how to get on dive boat with people of same skill level?

    I have found that if the Dive Op caters to cruise ship divers, the chances of getting placed with divers with lesser skills are greater. I dove with Aldora on my last Coz trip, and they do a pretty good job asking questions about your experience level. Heck, my first dive with the group Aldora...
