    Diver Conflict: What is the right thing to do in this case?

    Here are some of my thoughts and key points: - You are always responsible for your own gear - A good dive buddy watches out for his buddy and is conscientious about his buddy's gear as well as his own. Hey, dive gear isn't cheap. - If it was something more expensive (BC, etc.) and he was...

    i got a boat, now who wants to dive?

    Cool! We're practically neighbors... you're boat is about 10 minutes from my house.;) I hear it's pretty tough to get a slip in the marina there. One of my co-workers has a slip there and was telling me of his ordeal to get it. He just got a bigger sail boat in preparation for a his big...

    i got a boat, now who wants to dive?

    With an offer like that, how can we pass it up?:14: Sounds like you're pretty well setup. My son just turned 3 so I totally know what you mean. Just curious, which marina in LB... East (alamitos bay) or west (shoreline village)? Cheers, Tom

    Yoke To DIN Conversion Help Needed

    I guess that's what you get for going to Sport Chalet. :eyebrow: ...Or, you could use your calibrated arm. ;) (Sorry, bad Mechanical Engineer joke)

    Current Dive Conditions sites

    There are two of the sites that I also like to use - the first one is for surfing, so you have to interpret the report a little differently: http://www.wetsand.com and http://cdip.ucsd.edu/ (or more specifically)...

    "...we'll laugh at you and you'll look like a dork." - the Split

    Wow! For a clownfish, "Marlin" wasn't very funny. I'm disappointed. Let's get this back on track baggin' on ourselves. If you drop down only to find your camera got loose and surfaced without you, then ascend, retreive the camera, and call that a dive, we'll all laugh at you and you'll look...

    How I spent my 50th dive!

    Hmmm.... Sounds like a big tail (or should I say big tale) to me. ;) Too bad you didn't have something else, like your mask, in the picture for a sense of scale. Congratulations, and good job returning the fella.

    Humbolt Squid -LA Times

    That article reminded me of the altered oceans articles last year... what happens when things go out of balance. (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/oceans/la-oceans-series,0,7842752.special) The humboldt squid look pretty amazing! It would certainly get my pulse going a bit faster if I saw...

    HELP!!! Trying to finish my open water certification.

    Wow! I'm shocked. Does anybody know what's going to happen to the property? I was told that Jim owned the property the shop was on... pool and all. The facilities were all there, and the shop seemed to get pretty good business, so it wouldn't make sense to tear it down. My co-worker used to...

    HELP!!! Trying to finish my open water certification.

    Whoa! When did Jim retire? Is the shop still there? I tried checking his website (http://www.scuba-toys.com/), but was redirected to Beach Cities Scuba. You might try contacting Mike at New England Divers in Long Beach (562-421-8939). He certifies with NAUI.

    The British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC) in SoCal

    I read some of the info on the linked site, but it wasn't clear to me at the time if BSAC is another certifying agency like NAUI, or PADI etc., or does it compliment the certifications more like DIR does?
