Greetings, my family will be visiting the Dunedin/Pt. Chalmers area next year for a a brief visit. I was wondering if there was any diving in the above listed locations? Also wondering if there were any dive rental shops in this area. It would be a shame to go to NZ and not log at least one...

Ok, just came home from a trip (non-diving) from Monterey with the family. As I was checking out the water around the area, the question of water clarity kept popping up. Why is it that Monterey water is so much clearer than say my home waters (Humboldt County). I know the variables are many...

We had quite the reality check today. Thankfully the depths were shallow and allowed for repeated surfacing to find each other, but.....how do you keep tabs on a buddy with vis less than 2 feet? We tried physical contact (hold on to bicep), but surge was such that grabbing rock was more stable...

Bought my maximus last year, and I need to get it in for the annual inspection/service. Who/What shop/outfit is recommended. Looking for quick turnaround. Thanks.

Hi all. I'm going on a dive trip next month to a destination I will most likely never visit again. So I bought the little reefmaster w/wide angle and strobe to take some photos of this once in a life time trip. This will be my first time doing u/w photography. I've read some and think that I...

Hi all!! I'm going to buy a Sealife reefmaster mini for an upcoming trip. My question is this.....what accessories are necessities and what accesories can I do without? This will be my first u/w camera purchase and I'm looking for some help. Thanks to all.

Hey all need advice/help. After getting a ct scan yesterday I was told today that I have Chronic as well as Acute Sinusitis. In addition I was told it was "with thickness?" and "Air Fluid Levels?" No idea what the thickness and air fluid levels are about. Unfortunately the nurse gave me the...

Hey all, taking the next step in scuba bliss and doing my first liveaboard in Thailand in Feb 08. 4 day/3 night to the Similans. What should I bring, and what should I leave at home? I'm going to try to bring my own gear (even though what I have was not purchased with going over seas in...

Thinking about doing the Similians this Feb. Black Manta (4 day trip) looked pretty good. Anyone have any experience with them (good, bad, indifferent)? In addition, when I get back into Phuket, I was considering doing the Phi Phi island overnight from Phuket. Anyone done it? Thanks

Ok, I tried for about an hour searching for the brass "Dive Locker" plaque on line and could not find it. Who knows where to get one? It will grace the portal to my dive locker (aka: garage bathroom). It will complement the Submarine dive alarm I put next to the potty (aaahhhh wooo gaaahh...

Looking at doing some shore diving at Whiskeytown this month. Does anyone know where to put in at? Would like something with parking close to the shore, minimal walking, etc. thx

Dove off of CC as part of my AOW course. Dive #1 was at Star Rock, about 2 miles off shore from CC. Prior to entering water observed 3 Stellar Sea Lions on the rock and one swimming on the leeward side. Man those males are big. Swells were small (2') wind was minimal. Water temp at surface...

Looking for some advice on cold water gloves. Those that I've tried on seem to make dexterity an issue. Seeking max warmth/minimal dexterity issues. thx

Has anyone dove Trinity or Ruth Lakes in Trinity County? If so, what were your impressions? Thx

Looking at the Pinnacle Extreme. Looks good, however since I'm new to diving, don't have anything to compare it too. Anyone have one? Is it worth it? thx.

Got certified last year in Palau (expensive but well worth it), moved to Humboldt county after that, getting mixed comments on the diving up here. Any good spots for a beginner in Humboldt/Del Norte counties? Any comments on quality cold water gear (especially for a 6-05' bubba sizes)? thx
