No worries, dawhale. It's good now that we understand each other. When the time comes, I'm probably going to need advice from you about diving from LA...

I understand where your coming from . My apologies as I read more into your statements then was stated. Dive safe. dawhale

Four_Engines, give me a heads up and I would be glad to dive with you. The best time to dive the Southern California coast in August-September-October. The water is warm and the vis is generally pretty good. My favorite dive boats are the Great Escape http://diveboat.com/great_escape_boat_layout.shtmland the Peace http://www.peaceboat.com/main1.htm.
I hunt lobsters in October-November-December. This fall I will be diving Indonesia. I will be in Singapore for two nights on the way home. I can not go home before I get my fill of Singaporean Chile & Black Pepper Crab at Long Beach Seafoods. dawhale

Sure! I may just take up your offer. Ditto, let me know when you're here. I travel quite a bit so I may or may not be around when you're muching on the Chilli Crabs. A side note, I love the Crispy Duck at Long Beach Seafood Restaurant (if you're talking about the one in East Coast Park). I believe it's one of their specialties.

How's the state of GBR? What's the extent of the damage after the tropical storms?

My favourite dive destination? THE NEXT!

Sorry, I could not stand it. Actually, it comes from a story we use to tell between expatriates.
Do you know what are the 2 best postings for an expatriate?
Answer: the one where you were before, and the one you will go next.
