Hey Eric, We just got back from a cruise that included Barbados. We could have opted to purchase a 'shore excursion' that hooked us up with the local dive shops nearby the cruise dock/harbor. But we decided to book the diving ourselves and went with Phillip at Reefers & Wreckers Dive Shop...

Hi guys, Just relocated to the Boise, Idaho area from Southern California and we need to get wet. Other than Lucky Peak reservoir (which sounds pretty boring, unless you are getting certified), is there any other decent diving locally here? Thanks for any pointers you might have, and don't...

Hmmm. I think you *could*. Next time your travels bring you to Southern California, look them up. They are listed, easy to get to, and if you visit the shop, Rusty will spend time with you. Neither defending or attacking what is on the video myself, you might find it an interesting conversation.

Old thread, I know...but I'm sure glad to hear you say that!

Don't forget the 1/2 that are lawyers!!!

Is anything NOT harmful? I know that the KMS line of haircare products are as natural as you can get without having to refrigerate them (that means there are probaby trace amounts of preservatives in the small amounts we are discussing). Most decent salon and beauty supply stores carry the...

One more to help confuse you even more... My wife and I just got Henderson Hyperstretch 7/5 full suits. We used rental 7mm previously. She uses a hood, I don't. She gets cold easily, I don't. Bottom line, at Catalina we were both comfortable. Not toasty warm (but this IS California, not...

We use Cochran Commanders. They have the bar graph, but also show 'WARNING!' and emit a sound if you ascend faster than a preset threshold. You can set the threshold and the granularity (sampling rate) of the profile. You can also upload to PC (with an optional cable and software) I like...

Sorry guys, but I have a definite 'no' vote on Spamcop. As an IT professional, fighting everyother week to get 'removed' from Spamcop's blacklist is a royal pain. I have a full time Network Admin that spends a considerable amount of time working on issues related specifically to Spamcop...

I will add that my wife and I were recently certified at SSA. We have dived with Rusty, and a couple of his instructors, and have never felt unsafe or threatened, because Rusty, for all of his bravado and attitude, preaches and practices safety. In fact, if it wasn't for the TLC, patience, and...

We were recently certified at Catalina (Emerald Bay). We did our snorkel, and two scuba dives the first day (Thursday 8/5/04), skills, CESA, and a little looking around. We had a lot of fun, but were very tired, and both dives were < 40 fsw. I'm figuring that a lot of people getting...

Welcome. Where at in Southern Il? We just came back from visiting friends in Columbus, Indiana, and relatives in the Danville area of Illinois (where I grew up). No diving but some of the places available look interesting for future. Have fun.

Hi there! My wife has a similar issue, along with a narrow face. We tried kids masks, but they were uncomfortable. We finally bought her an Ocean Master lv mask with their 'Q-strap' setup, and it works GREAT!. We purchased online at a reasonable price, and they have a generous return policy...

Welcome to the Board! I noticed from your profile that you have been to Santa Barbara Island. We are heading there this Saturday, and looking forward to it.

Congrats on the cert. We are recently certified, going this weekend to Santa Barbara Island and can't hardly wait. We are just 'down the road' in Cucamonga. Welcome to the Board! It is a big chunk of $$$ to be sure. But well spent, considering all that is involved. Buy good quality and...

Don't know if you are counting 'made for TV movies' or not, but there is always the very inconceivable 'Goliath Awaits' (1981), with Mark Harmon and Christopher Lee. Marlin

ICK! Here's what I found: For the third year in a row, the California "Beach Bummer"—the most polluted beach in California—was Doheny Beach from North Beach to 2000 feet south of San Juan Creek in Orange County (1st). Doheny Beach was awarded the “Beach Bummer” based on the beach area...

Our company 'picnic' is in early September at Doheny. I found that there is a shore/beach dive site there, but would appreciate any information from those who have dived there previously...What is the surge like? Anything specific to see? Recommended entry and exit? etc... Thank you in...

scubablonde...she just signed up... Thanks for the welcome, look forward to chatting.... MS
