A hello and Thank you from the Central Coast of Ca.

[billyfrank]

Just found this site and I am stoked by the size of the community and content here. I will be the guy bugging you all alot for info since I am a newbie to the sport.
I was certified last year and since then have had a new baby so there has not been much oppurtunity lately but, I vowed to get out for some bugs this year and maybe a few lings if I get the chance.
I am here in Santa Maria, Ca. so if anyone wants to hook up and dive please motivate me and send an e-mail.
Thanks a bunch,
Billy

Welcome aboard. I am from central CA and about 1.5hrs from morro bay.

By the way do you guys have any good kayak shops in santa maria that sell cobra fish n dive kayaks? I think someone told me there was one located there, although i may be wrong?

 

[billyfrank]

I think Central Coast Kayaks has some, not sure though.
Where abouts central Ca?

Those places are great fun to dive.

I have both, so if you get together for a dive with me and zen you can try each one to see what you like.I used a spearpole for quite a while before buying a speargun so i could get some bigger fish.

I Like to use them both, several varieties, really like spear poles, have a few fine specimens, but the spear poles seem pretty limited, in low viz I find them a bit cumbersome zeN

Thanks Guys,
Like I said, I have not dove in a while but am anxious to get back to it. Definately have to hook-up some time for a dive. I might just need a little notice as I work alot of weekends.
Spear pole the same as hawain sling?
Thanks,
Billy
