New to ScubaBoard

[ChrisMSD]

Hello Everyone,
I may be new to ScubaBoard but I have been diving for over ten years.
I took a break from diving when I moved from Honolulu back to San Diego.
Going from unlimited visibility to 15 ft vis. put a damper on my diving.
So did going from a diveskin to a 7mm wetsuit and hood.
Took a Scuba Review two months ago and now I'm taking specialty classes to get back into the swing. I dive in a 5mm wetsuit w/ a hooded vest and I'm perfectly comfortable at 54 degrees at depth. Post to ya later

Welcome aboard...if diving in San Diego,...go to Sunset Cliffs and Point Loma, dive in and around the kelp beds near the local surf spots,...I found 33rds and newbreaks to be the better of the areas, avoid Garbage and subs as the rips are usually bad there...they are at the foot of the stairs and just south,,, usually glassy conditions the farther south you go....good luck...

Chris... welcome to California... if you can dive here, you can dive anywhere...

Anyhow, WetRat gave some good information. Maybe I'll see you at one of the dives...

Happy diving.
