Dive Report - Breakwater 27 Feb 10

I'm still training the unholy army of garden gnomes I plan to use for a little extra "gentle" persuasion when it comes to pricing.

Soon my pets... very soon...

Do they look like this?

Will be so much fun to give friends tows, once I get it figured out !

That's exactly what I was thinking, Kathy!

No, mine look like this...



They look friendly, so they have the benefit of surprise when they start to bite your nose off.

 

[mikemill]

Wonder what's under the hat

Not that hard to tow. Just have to be willing to get a little... friendly with the towee.

Yeah it seems pretty easy to tow.

But I'd want to get scooter diving/safety figured out for myself first - towing a buddy along for the learning curb adventure probably isn't the best idea !

But I can dream... guessing scooters are somewhere in the future - at least I hope ...

Need to finish Fundies first ! What a class!

That's exactly what I was thinking, Kathy!

!!! Soon enough I hope!

So excited to hear how your Essentials class goes - I hope you write a class report ;-)!

You crazy California divers, scootering around in kelp fields, checking out sunken anchors, and attempting murder of my instructor. If I come around again, can we try for this much fun??

Peace,
Greg

Looks like all this talk of scooters is making me itch... Brian, so which one are you looking at and will we get a group discount if Kathy, me and you all get one at the same time???

Wishful thinking but I thought I'd ask...

I'm looking at the DiveXtras Sierra and Cuda. Interestingly enough, in the new LiON battery models the cost difference is pretty negligible. Of course, the battery is crazy expensive.

Right now, I'm leaning towards a standard'ish Sierra. I feel like it would be a lot more comfortable for me to deal with than the Cuda. That said, the speed difference and cruise time on the cuda is pretty awesome.

Do most of the local Sierra divers use the standard or long body?

Go for it Mike & Brian! Can't wait to hear your stories.

It will probably take me a little while till I"m ready for a scooter. Plenty of fun lined up exploring where doubles/our new skills/polished kicks can take us! But ya never know...I do have scooter envy !!
