    SCUBA DIVING 2002 (Best and Worst)

    Best: 1 My most memorable,although not scenic, but very fun. Coming back from the deep dive off La Jolla shores. Putting a finger in the sand to stop from going back with the surge and the BEST part, letting go of the sand and FLYING with the surge back in. It was so much fun!..:) 2) Diving...

    who is diving and where

    Actually....La Jolla cove has kelp forests and giant sea bass. There were garibaldi also. The one draw back was the vis. wasn't that great, but I've found that to be a problem with all by beach dives so far. We did a night dive there and saw tons of lobsters. You are right about La Jolla...

    Shell collecting?

    my buddy took a shell once...one of the snail type. We put in my goody bag, but back on the boay a baby octopus came out. I think taking the snail type shells is wrong, because other critters can use them for future homes even if nothing is in them now. I have taken the flat clam type shell...

    Training... which is worse? What would be better?

    two comments.....as for #1 the agency doesn't make one think they have more skill than they really do just because they have a card. No matter what my card may say, I know what my skill level is. When I took the advanced class it was presented as a continuation of the begginng class except we...

    I dive in Southern CA. The water on my dives have been about 64 to 68 degrees ...except when we went deep 121 feet and it was 49 degrees.....anyway, for my OW class pool sessions wee wore full 7mm wetsuits in a pool that was heated to 80+ degrees. We didn't have to wear the hoods, but everything...

    Have you damaged a dive site ?

    I couldn't answer the poll because there are no coral reefs out here. The rocks didn't get damaged. The kelp is hardy stuff and most of the fish I saw were garibaldi......I think the environment out here is pretty hardy. I was very concerned about the starfish being kicked off the rocks during...

    Have you damaged a dive site ?

    My friend just got back from diving in Roatan. They wouldn't let them use gloves at all and had to dive with their arems crossed across their chest to protect the reefs. I'm sure damage was done on my OW class. At least 12 students went done with maybe 5 feet or less vis. They all clung to...

    The coldest I've been diving in was 49 degrees and that was cold!! It was also at 121 feet. Coming back up to the 68 degree water felt like a warm bath....:)

    Chocolate Lobster Dive, Cabrillo Beach, CA

    so, did you win something with the cholate lobster you found? I really wanted to go, but it's really difficult for me to get weekends off. I think I may need to change jobs so I can dive more....LOL
