    Dive coats for women?

    Hello... Let first me say... I realize diving is a sport where being fashionable is not much of a priority. Having said that... I still would like something "cute" if at all possible. I'm looking for a dive coat to wear during my surface intervals without look like a walking potato sack...

    Best way to carry dive gear on Catalina Express

    Thanks everyone. Looks like the Stanley tool boxes are the way to go. I went to Target today and bought it. I bought the smaller one and it just fits my all my gear minus my snorkle. That is okay since I can easily put that in my backpack. A couple of follow up questions. Do you carry your...

    Best way to carry dive gear on Catalina Express

    Hi... How do you carry your gear when you go on Catalina Express? I'm not used to carrying gear on my back. I use my giant bag with wheels usually. But I think its beyond the size limits for the express. Are they very strict when it comes to dive bag sizes? How should I carry my...

    Tendency to breath through nose when looking up?

    Hi all... I noticed that when I am looking up to the surface I have a tendency to let water go through into my nose. Is this all psychological and lack of focus on just breathing through my mouth or is there some other issue going on? Thanks!

    Tips for navigating Vet's Park in Redondo?

    Thanks everyone. The navigation was much easier than I had anticipated. I guess Vet's Park is hard to get it wrong. :) The vis was great starting around 35 ft. I did see lots of camouflaged fishes, nudibranch and I guess a sea cucumber looking thing? It was huge and almost scary! Sorry I...

    Steel versus Aluminum... is steel better?

    So I'm having a hard time keeping my safety stops when my AL 80 tank is about 800 PSI and less. I'm literally inverted kicking with all my might just to not pop to the surface. This is getting to be way too much and I'm scared every time I go deep now because I"m afraid if I get too tired I...

    Where do I store my scuba gear?

    Does anyone have any good tips on how to organize their scuba gear out in the open between dives? I live in an apartment and do not have a nice garage nor do I have a lot of closet space. So, I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on storing scuba gear between dives. My dives are a week to...

    Muck diving?

    Thanks... but I'm barely learning to appreciate 20' visability... I think 3' vis would make me shoot right to the surface. The more I read this site.. the more I realize there is so much more underwater. :confused: I appreciate all the commentary and pictures... very interesting. I can...

    Yukon (Canadian Destroyer) Dive Site

    I did my wreck certification there over the course of 2 days and it was really great. The Yukon is all deep diving (60+ ft). You'll find the boat lying on its side. I definitely recommend getting one of those waterproof maps of the yukon. It really helps with navigating and exploring it...
