Thanks... Turns out my wife can't take off the day before & after to get there over Thankgiving. Yes, "warm & clear" are relative terms. The last 15~20 dives fo rme have been in max 60 deg water, only two of which were in vis over 3 ft. I would have preferred the wrecks around Ft...

Just decided that a long weekend to the Keys might be a good pre-winter trip. I have a project coming up that will require me to be in San Diego 3 days a week starting 12/1for about 8~10 weeks. Looking at taking a 3~4 day trip to the Keys to get acquainted. Never dove there. Wife's been to...

I was at the "Scuba Park" Tuesday night about dusk. From the shore vis looked a lot better than anything aroung here. Small class doing their OW. In just swimsuits, so water must have been pretty warm. I have to be there on business for the next several weeks, and given I'm goofy enough that...

I got this pretty much by accident snorkeling. I though the light from the surface ripples gave the whole scen a somewhat surreal effect

because I have one on the way. Doing a wreck class (external) & the instructor didn't require it, but strongly recommended a canister light~~ with a goodman. Let's see, something about shooting a bag and needing a third hand rings a bell (hmmm...and made sense, too). It''ll be required for...

an external wreck class on the Yukon on the 30th. All of my ocean diving has been that warm clear Carribean stuff. Really looking forward to being in the Pacific. Went dry about a year ago, but it's all been in fresh water. socaldesertdiver...that's almost an oxymoron. Most people...

Yes, I think you got some contact info form me. Don't remember how I got it. I ordered a BP, 36# Pioneer wing, harness, tanks straps & MC Pac. Didn't have any problems with the sale or delivery. Think with shipping it was like $455 or so. Ended up also buying a 1/4" (9#) BP from...

I was told by someone here locally that was what to do. Hmmm....

There's been some discussions previously but when I did a search with those keywords, I got so many threads to look at I didn't find the one I was looking for. Anybody got a line on a source for some pockets I could Aquaseal onto a neoprene dry? Didn't have much luck with an internet...

It used to be worth a trip, but with the drought, low water, excessive nutrients and subsequent algae bloom, vis is for crab, and I wouldn't swim in it. There have been reports of pets getting sick from it. Couple of years ago at the lower end of the lake, there were times vis may have...

Only two dives on mine. One to only about 8' with atank with <400 psi to checkc weight, the other a short dive with a 63CF to do a quick check out. but the posts here seme to indicate maybe an issue with the plate and the finish. I'm using a GUTS 1/4" (9#) with an 8# keel poured into it...

have to jump in here. I bought a Halcyon BP, 36# wing with the backpad. Then bought a 9# 1/4" BP from Gary (GUTS) about 2 months ago, MY father-in-law passed away about the itme I bought it, so I hadn't been able to use it. Last weekend (Saturday) I poured in about an 8# keel weight...

Haven't been "self-employed" for a few years, but last I looked there was a still an Section 179 Election to Expense deduction that allowed you to take all of the cost of otherwise depreciable items purchased for business in a single year lump sum. It just can't exceed your income~ you can't...

Anybody have any experience with the housings for these?

A hole in the water you pour money into

To me, "Tec" has as much to do with a comprhensive understandng of the ramifications of the endeavor rather than just how deep, or where you go, etc. Having a respect gleaned form a thorough understsanding of the physiological consequences of your actions as a diver. Although I left the...

Anybody got a feel for what the max you can get into one of these is? I'm in the process of ordering a BP, and want to do this as well. I'm getting a 9# BP. Need 10-12 in a 3mil wet when I go warm/salt, and right now 26 total in a 7mil neoprene dry in fresh at +/-5000 ft altitude...

I did a two tank in between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo a couple of years ago. Wasn't reall impressed. I have a friend (in Phoenix) that has a group that goes to San Carlos (Guaymas) on the mainland side of the Sea of Cortez quite frequently. We have a bunch of people form our sail...

That's what I 've been working on the last 8-10 dives. I've been going along with the LDS OW & AOW just to be an extra set of eyes for a short handed instructor, so it's given me a lot of opportunity to work on trim and bouyancy. The frog is great and I can pretty much keep up with vertical...

I would think the other way around. I think my splits are a lot easier on the legs, and once I get going, can keep up with regular fins without a lot of effort. I think the depth of the kick is shallower, and the cycle a little quicker with the splits (for me anyway), but the effort doesn't...
