    Monterey Dive Boats with Guides?

    My understanding is that none of the dive boats in Monterey offer guided boat dives, they just give you a ride to the dive site and then you're on your own. Therefore, it seems like if I wanted to do a guided boat dive, I would have to hire a guide, and then pay for their trip on the boat on...

    Question GBR in October, Single Diver

    I'm starting to plan a trip to dive somewhere on the Great Barrier Reef in October 2024, and had some questions I was hoping the group could answer. 1) I'm not sure I'd be comfortable doing a live-aboard. I'll be traveling solo, and not sure I want to share a bunk room with a stranger. Does...

    Question Questions on Poor Knights

    I'm hoping for some information on diving the Poor Knights Islands. I've always wanted to visit New Zealand and Australia, and I'm finally putting together a plan to go in October 2024. I'll probably have about a week to ten days in NZ and the same in Australia. I hope to dive Poor Knights...

    Gloves for Monterey, CA?

    I was just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for good gloves for diving Monterey in a wetsuit. My current set (Deep See 3mm Kevlar) that I hastily purchased at a Sport Chalet while en-route to my first dive in Monterey (because 1/2 down there on the drive I realized my dive rental gear...

    Wanted Suunto Mosquito Download Cable

    I was lucky enough to be given an old Suunto Mosquito dive computer, but it didn't come with a download cable. I've never relied on a computer (I still plan all my dives and intervals using tables), but I figure it might be nice to see my dive profiles just because I'm curious. So I'm trying...

    Found: Hollis Fin at Pt. Lobos (Saturday May 21)

    If you lost a Hollis size Small fin, I think it was a F-2, we found one near the boat ramp on Saturday. My buddy pulled it out of the water, and another person (I'm kicking myself for not remembering her name) said they would drop it off with the Rangers at the Park's lost and found.

    Tank Leak Question

    Ok, I'm still new to diving, so I'm sorry if this is a simple question.... I was diving with a rented tank this past weekend. The first day the tank was fine and I had it refilled later in the day at the local dive shop (not the shop I rented from). Anyway, I was setting up the tank for my...

    Tusa Freedom Hd Vs. Elite Masks

    I'm thinking about buying either a Tusa Freedom HD or Elite mask and I was wondering if there are any differences between the two masks other than lens shape. The Tusa website states that the HD is "panoramic", but that seems to be the only difference with its lens a bit bigger. I need a new...

    Mask Design Question

    Every since my certification I've been using a ScubaPro Ventana mask which is now about 10 years old. On my last couple of dive trips I've noticed the masking pushing up on the bottom of my nose, which is both painful and annoying. I spent most of my last couple of dives just trying to keep my...

    Xs Hose Mount Depth Gauge

    I had a question regarding the XS Hose Mount Depth Gauge (Hose Mount Depth Gauge). How exactly does this mount onto the hose? Do you take the hose off the 1st stage and then thread the hose through the clamp, or does it just clamp onto the hose? I'm wondering because if you threat the hose...

    Solved: Broken Links

    I've noticed on the main forum page that certain links to the classified sections are broken. For instance, if you go under "The Equipment of Scuba Diving" -> "Regulators"->"Classifieds" it's a dead link. Not all of them are like this, but some are, I know regulators, exposure suits, and tanks...
