Fuzzybunny, I'll tell you what the biggest danger of diving in Monterey is.

The biggest danger is that, if you keep going down there, you're going to hook up with some folks who have more fun diving than ought to be legal.

The first thing they'll do is show you how useful a good light is.

Then you'll find out how much it costs.

Then they'll convince you that a different kind of BC setup makes diving easier.

Then you'll find out how much it costs.

Then they'll take you diving and hand you a scooter.

Then you'll find out how much it costs.

Then they'll take you out and show you what you could see if you had the training and a little helium . . .

And then you'll find out how much THAT costs.

Diving in Monterey is very dangerous.

Monterey cost me a scooter and a recreational triox class and eventually a tech class. Don't go anywhere near the BAUE folks, unless you want to have more fun than you can imagine, and empty your bank account.

Hmmm sounds like a good point is made here... something 'bout a lighter pocketbook... thanks for the advice, and the laugh. :D
