Misleading title
I have a sunday boat dive and i am going to be staying the night on the boat which boards at 8 sat night due to weather on the grapevine i was planning on comming down much earlyer in the day sat to avoid icy conditions
So the question is are there any beach sites for a first time beachdiver close to ventura. I don't need a amazing site just one thats somewhat calm and i can practice entrys and exits and get my legs warmed up some
On the other hand is it worth the added residual nitrogen and dcs risk to beach dive before boat diving granted we all like to dive as much as we can but I always error way on the side of caution for residual because several reasons
Im overweight and have been told this put you at higher risk due to the offgassing nature of fat tissues
My sac rate is pretty high
I am a ex smoker (recent quit around 5 months)
The drive home involves the grapevine which is a pretty high mountain pass ( depending on my final numbers i may be getting a hotel room for sunday night )
So all that combined is why I try to stay above k on my pessure groups
