Great 1st dive trip to Wreck Alley in San Diego on August 11, 2018. We had 50+ Vis, it was awesome! Guy of the boat said he's been diving there for 10 yrs and only seen it this good once before. Thank you Waterhorse Charters & my dive buddy Keith Taylor.

Recently returned from a Western Caribbean cruise vacation. We had originally planned on the eastern Caribbean but were diverted as you can imagine. First time for this Socal native to dive in warm water...WOW! So blue, so clear and so warm! No wet suit needed in 84 degree water, vis almost 100...

Went to Anacapa last week on the Spectre. Vis was very good (40+) on the front side. As always the Captain & crew were great as was the food.

On a recent trip to Anacapa Island, I spotted this stuff that looks like sea spaghetti. What is it?

I grew up in Santa Barbara area in the 60's and 70's. Our next door neighbor was a young, stock broker who owned a 20ft boat and was into scuba and spear fishing. He would come home with huge rock fish and large abalone. We enjoyed many meals from him. In my early adult years (80’s), I made...

My wife and I went to Catalina this last Friday to celebrate our 33rd anniversary and she insisted I take the opportunity to dive the Park, what great wife! I had heard the place was pretty barren as far as the kelp was concerned. I found one small stalk that I thought was the sole survivor...

Went to the Museum of Natural History in Santa Barbara yesterday. They have a 74 foot Blue whale skeleton and a interesting SoCal bathymetric model among many other great exhibits.

The son of my wife's cousin emerged from the rocks in Channel Islands Harbor today and proudly displayed what he called a Sea Slug. I took a quick pic with the phone and requested that he immediately return the little critter back into to harbor. It looks like Navanax inermis to me. Thought I...

We had a great day diving Catalina this last Friday, May 3rd on the Magician. Dolphins led us on the way out to Black Rock, Starlight Cove and Parson's Landing. Vis was 20-30 ft in the shallows with 53-56 deg. of water temp. (dry suits are starting to look good). Anyway, by far the highlight of...

For my buddies birthday we took the Catalina Express to enjoy the great conditions we had been hearing about over at the Dive Park. We were not let down, vis was 60-70 ft, just incredible! This dive we cruised the west end of the Park. http://youtu.be/wVAQXVXiyhM We had heard reports of GSB...

Hi all, hopefully going to be diving Casino Point this week and wanted to know about the lockers. Are they still there? Do they work? Last time i saw them they looked pretty bad. I have never locked my gear up there, but thought I remembered reading about some gear theft recently.

Well after six months of you name it, I was finally able to make it out for a dive at our local reef. Sorry for the soft pic's. Deer Creek can be a great spot to dive,close to shore, easy entry/exit. http://youtu.be/-6iVsUE22u0

What I thought was going to be a great day of diving just never materialized. One buddy lost a mask and the other called his dive. Sooo, I made it a short dive. Maybe 5 feet of viz I did manage a couple of shots.

Back in May we were headed for Anacapa, but conditions sent us on the Peace up the backside if Santa Cruz. What a treat to dive Bowen Point and Flame Reef. http://youtu.be/J36DtRHj6Bw

Okay, what did you lose and what did you find while diving this year? My short list, I lost my Olympus 3010 Camera at Deer Creek 2/18/10. Found a carabineer 1/5/10, and a Free Diver’s Fin at Old Marineland 11/27/10.

Dan, Tyler and myself car pooled with Victor to or favorite shore dive, Old Marinelands Long Point. The kelp has really grown this year and is now all the way into the rocks. We made our entry without any difficulty and went on our way. Victor gave the guy’s the tour while I looked for picture...
