    Looking for dive buddies in OC

    Another option (which Shark Monkey neglected to share... :shakehead: ) is Laguna Sea Dwellers. It's a very fun group with lots of dive and non-dive activities. The club is very female friendly (which is good for us male types) and there is always an abundance of dive opportunities, beach, boat...

    Discussion topic - buddy separation protocol

    Of course, I am speaking of a missed safety stop, NOT a deco stop. - and I am talking about just a few minutes on the surface. This is similar to a situation where you might need to surface to locate the boat and re-descend. I can't see any reason that the more time you can spend at 15-20ft...

    Discussion topic - buddy separation protocol

    Here's question that I think is relevant. I am under the understanding that descending to do a "safety stop" after spending a few minutes on the surface is not harmful but beneficial. True ? I would typically descend again to 15-20ft if contact was not made on the surface after a few minutes...

    Good advice... the biggest problem is lack of a plan on what to do.

    Is it bad to pee in a wetsuit?

    Interesting thread.... In the past, I've always tried to avoid peeing in a suit but sometimes there is no choice because I drink a lot of water. I think that also may be an explanation of why some people seem to have smelly urine and some don't. I've heard it said that if your urine is dark you...

    San Clemente Island on the Bottom Scratcher

    A good time and good food was had by all ! The Santa Ana's made for amazingly smooth water and the conditions were very good. We got there early enough for a night dive with sunrise as the finale. Very cool. I didn't have a glow stick but those who did saw lobsters galore. The three...

    Mauritius - Dive Dream Center

    It was a long frickin' flight but it was some of the best diving I've ever done. From SoCal I might be tempted to go back to Fiji but I would really consider going back for a longer stay at the Dream Center apartments. They were that good. (Of course, I don't have a family that wants to shop -...

    Mauritius - Dive Dream Center

    I got a tip about Dive Dream at Trois aux Biches in Mauritius. Had two great days of diving with them and highly recommend the shop. They also have what looks like nice rooms for rent as well surrounding a central swimming pool. (I never got a look but I probably would try them next time.) The...
