    Gear stolen

    The number traces to a used sports equipment store in Torrance. http://piassouthbay.com/

    Regulator setup for DIR

    To respond to the OP: Have two identical, high quality regulators. Save yourself time and research and just buy a ScubaPro Mk 25 with dual S600 second stages. When you buy them make the deal with the dive shop to give you a second Mk 25 first stage with the total pricing for buying 2 complete...

    looking for So Cal buddy Wednesday 8/8

    Don't do it. Vet's dives are almost always to 70+ and often 90+. Its a submarine canyon. There's nothing in the shallows. The bill for landing a 767 at the wrong airport to get you to the chamber might exceed your coverage.

    Solution to the new Marineland trail

    In 300 or 400 years this will all be for the best. Complete melting of the Greenland ice sheet will add 22 feet to the sea level and the antarctic will be about another 22. Then the parking will be right next to the Terranea submarine canyon.

    Fantasy Island trip report

    Went to CoCoView last summer - much, much better experience than that described in the OP for Fantasy Island. Dive Op was very good and food was better than expected. Room was OK but we spent little time there. Jim

    Bonaire Trip Report

    Went to Bonaire for a week and I promised some of you a report. Last year we found ourselves in the position of having two free tickets on American we needed to book, and we picked Bonaire because it was supposed to have the best beach diving in the world. I don't know about best but if...

    L.A.: Pool access for doubles practice?

    Its the Reseda pool and you should definitely talk with HD before showing up. When it works there it works well and the HD people have been very helpful to me. Reseda is about 12 ft. (if I remember correctly) and the USC pool is 17 ft. - a good depth for practicing air shares and controlled...

    L.A.: Pool access for doubles practice?

    Hollywood Divers uses the community pool off the Tampa exit of the 101 on one or two Sunday mornings every month. I plan on getting with them when my insane travel schedule cools down. The Altadena LA County pool is being rebuilt, and I hope to be able to create an opportunity there. I can...

    anyone been on the SPECTRE dive boat????

    Spectre is a good choice. Plenty of room by comparison with many boats. Call Ted and ask how many are booked. Spectre is cramped above thirty-some but if its 20 or less there will be tons of room. Jim

    dead or frozen legs

    Troll in my opinion. First post - no profile info. A training dive of 1 minute duration is not going to cause leg paralysis. If a disc is damaged by gearing up with a little bad posture and a lot of bad timing there can be peripheral neuropathies of various types - so I guess its possible...

    are double 80's dangerous?

    A few comments from my recent transition to doubles. In SoCal I dive my double HP-100s in drysuit with a Halcyon 40 lb. wing. Weighting is 6 lbs. BP plus 3 lb. tail weight plus can light plus 7 lbs ditchable. This gives me a balanced rig in cold water - that is the most important point. Also...

    Virginia killings Moderation decisions.

    I think this discussion, like many other discussions of topical, polarizing issues has no place on scubaboard. First of all we should keep our focus here on scuba. Second unless there are people here who know real facts about intervention strategies for troubled university students, or how...
