Hello

[kamalh9]

Hi,
I moved to southern Cal about a year ago, and it took me awhile to figure out that I could start diving again. So I was informed that this place would be a good place to get back up to speed. Write now I'm looking into buying new fins (I just have snorkeling ones) and looking into a refresher course/dive.
any and all sugestions will help.
Thanks.

Aloha and welcome to the board! Your right on about the refresher. Take one and get the feel back and look at the new gear out there. This is a great place to learn.

:11: check out the ca kelpdivers forum under scubaboard clubs on the main page.I just did my 1st dive with them at catalina on sat. you wont find a nicer group of people by the way.Its a good place to get info on socal diving and also to meet fellow divers. As far as a refresher course almost every dive shop will offer them. I know sportchalet which is PADI offers it for around $70 for a pool refresher

Welcome to Scuba Board!!!

IMHO, a good fin is a paddle fin, and then there are no fins like JetFins, and even my wife will agree with that (she went from volos, the paddle equivalent to splits, to jetfins) Whenever I don't dive with my jets, I have a pair of Mares Quattro that I also love.
