Anyone diving Nov. 5, 6, and 7? Friday, Saturday, and Sunday?

Anyone anyone anyone? I'm a new diver, just got all my gear except a computer, but I won't let you down! Want to do at least 4 dives a day. Open to night diving as well. I have a SAC of 0.5.

When and where?

Breakwater on Saturday. Not sure where else on the other days. Diving starts 7:30AM.

Four dives per day in our waters is pretty ambitious. Most wetsuit people will be close to hypothermic by then.

Be careful. The ocean's not going anywhere.

if you want to do 4 dives a day in ca water, i would check out channel island diving on an overnight. truth aquatics, peace or Spector. Monterey north, do 2 dives and say you did 4.

I did 5 dives last Sunday in a single piece 5/7mm. I'm originally from Ohio so I'm pretty warm bodied, plus I wasn't going too deep (45ft max). I also tend to eat between dives to give my body energy to produce warmth.

I'm a maybe for 2 dives on Sunday morning. What size tanks do you use?

How long were those dives? Often we will just do one looong dive, and I come out chilled.

Okie doke. I've got a HP100 Steelie and a 60-3000 AL... SAC rate is around 0.5 when I'm nice and calm, but I sometimes get stressed if visibility sucks really bad, like 5ft

They were about 40 minutes for the first three, then 70 minutes for the remaining two. I know, I know, dive your longest dives first, but I ensured proper SI and the longer dives were with a different buddy who used less air. The last two got pretty chilly though.

How long's a long dive in recreational scuba? Basically maxing out your NDL?
