Colleagues,
I'm a warm water wuss who is very much interested in learning about the glories of Monterey. I've only been diving a year or so, and only in warm water (Belize and Roatan), but I hear that there is even more to see in Monterey than there is in the tropics. I'd be interested in (all) your suggestions about how to go about learning the local ropes. Best places to go, boat vs. shore, best dive operations to patronize. Do you need a dry suit or will 7 mils do? Hoods? Gloves? Does someone with only 25 warm water dives under his or her weight belt need special instruction for dealing with such different water conditions? I'd be very grateful for your suggestions and counsel.
Thanks.
