Met up with the guy who always wears a hat, and the young japanese gentleman, and decided to go out at Little Corona, because she said she would meet us there. Connected with Cheese Whiz and geared up. She didn't show, so we headed out. The shorebreak was not a problem on the way out, so we...

Thanks for the Dive-In!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Big Thanks to Rickster and all of the people who helped with the Dive-In at Vet's Park Redondo!!! Octopus in a bottle, Finding the mask again, and continuing the dive, Ali and...

I was doing my Nav training, and I came across a mask. If you know the brand and color, it is probably yours! (or maybe it's the mask that Petra lost!)

I have been using a dive computer that tells both average depth and maximum depth. Which number should I use for surface interval and following dive calculations? -N

Thank you Ann Marie for your patience, assertiveness, understanding, and ability to pull together a last-minute plan! You did a great job of getting to the crux of the matter, allowing me to address it and proceed with clarity. You Rock!! -Nannymouse.

When is a cave a cave? When there is a hole in the terrain? When there is a channel between two rocks that you could drive a truck through? When you have to take off your tank and push it ahead of yourself? There is interesting texture in my part of the ocean, and I want to check it out...

My buddy has a pony bottle that he uses when he washes down his regulators, to keep pressure between the first stage and the second stage. He washes down his whole rig in his shower. (I don't know if he took the PADI TubDiver class.) I have no tanks of my own yet, so I keep the dust cap on...

Just after we turned our first dive at Shaw's Cove (West Point) we came across a statue of Venus, with a plate that read Shelly ( or Ashley) of Shaw's. Is there anyone else who is familiar with this statue? How long has it been there? Who is Ashley (or Shelly)? ?????:confused:

1 mask and snorkle. 1 Mares fin, black. Another mask, red and clear. After our first dive at Shaw's Cove in Laguna Beach, as I was coming up to change out my tank, I noticed a couple sitting on the rocks, and the woman was looking glum. I asked if they were going out again and she told me...

Besides in and out, and don't stop. I appear to be an air hog, and I am still working on Bouyancy. Any tips on refining technique would be appreciated. -N

Avalon Harbor is Clean Again!!! Well, relatively so. I didn't see the things that came out at Step Beach or Green Pier, but we brought a lot of junk out at Casino Point. I was buddied with Mike Mino and we were among the first pairs into the water. But thanks to my air hogging ways and...

I came across this link, and thought that it sounded like a good idea. My friend want's to go also. Does anyone have experience with this dive, or comments to make? This is the link to the registration information page. Island Ecology Will this post get dropped into the Catalina sticky?

During my open Water cert dives my friend was paired up with his 16 yr old son. My intended buddy bailed out for personal reasons, so I was paired with the instructor. While we were stationary on the bottom, and the instructor was dealing with my friend and son, I stayed exactly where I was...

:DI grew up in Laguna Beach, Ca. and have surfed, swam, or snorkled at every beach between newport Pier and Camp Pendleton at one time or another. I have a lot of experience as a waterman, including four years as an ocean lifeguard, but I am new to scuba. My friend called me recently and said...
