custom all the way!!! I have a Coral Reef wetsuit. Love it and it's in westminster.

my girlfriend just got certified, it was hard for her to do the mask clearing. she didn't love the class but then on our first dive after the OW class, she saw a sea lion and now she's hooked. we're going tomorrow!!!! Yeah diving!!!!!!

i have an aeris elite T3 and i love it. aeris, oceanic and sherwood are all the same computers. they are made by Pelagic. As for algorithm, they are less conservative than suunto. Suunto are the most conservative of all computers. that's not saying it's bad, just works on the safer side of...

Yes, i use three different lenses on land (70-200mm@r2.8, 105mm@f2.8 and a sigma 15-35mm wide angle) Gear? I...

Dear friends, I've been asking and searching on this board. Well maybe not hard enough but i want a straight and honest opinion. I am not sure whether to start my Underwater photo extravaganzas with a digital point and shoot or a DSLR. I am a semi-hardcore amature terrestrial photographer but...

hey that's awesome, how can i help to survey and do transects of our reef system?

i have the Ranger LtD and love it!. For me, it was between the Nighthawk and the Ranger ltd. I went with what looked like it was built with stronger (military based) material. double stitching vs. the weaker stitching of the nighthawk. Now before i get flamed by nighthawk users, i think they are...

liburdi's has trips, give them a call. k

I got my degree from long beach state i completely agree. anytime the balance of nature is skewed, it takes much more effort to bring back that balance. We dont realize how long it takes something to grow an inch. Like halibuts....they take up to 20 years to group 22'' (legal size). There has to...

i was kind of the same way, but then i realized how beautiful everything was underwater and didn't want to kill anything.......kinda. Lobster hunting is still awesome. I just think shooting something on scuba is kinda cheating. Free dive all the way. but this is coming from an avid fishermen...

I plan on doing this, can't wait to get my rescue course done. See ya guys next month. kiet

hey, that's awesome. i would nominate you if i knew of all your accomplishment. i just graduated from long beach state and wanted to do something along your lines of education and conservation.

bookymad, why dont you try laguna, beach entry is easy in most places. I dont think most people would rather beach dive than boat dive but hey it's cheaper. I sometimes dive with south coast divers and all they do is meet up, dive, and leave. you can be as social as you want or be like Me and...

Hey guys, For those of you who have been there. How does it work? I plan on taking the Catalina Express over. After they drop you off, then what? Do i just walk all the way over there and get suited and geared up near the entry point? Where do i put my stuff (ie gear bag and clothes)...

Yeah, it felt really good helping someone. I plan full heartedly to keep advancing to instructor. That's one thing about diving that i love, unlike all my other sports and hobbies, you will keep seeing new things and keep learning new techniques. kiet

Wow, so today my buddy and i decided to dive Crescent bay. Entering was a breeze and the swell was around 1 foot. However, after about 10 minutes of diving, the swell apparently picked up and we were getting worked by the oncoming surge. So around thirty minutes into the dive, i call it and...
