I have one of these scooters which are supposed to be better than the Sea-Doo scooters. The only difference i can see is the gears don't rust if they get wet. My scooter has two speeds. There is a speed control unit inside that was water damaged so i got another one. Same problem. When i pull...
I dive with a dry suit but sometimes I would just like to snorkel. A NeoSport 7.5mm wet suit with a Lyrica suit and 3mm tropical suit under it is not enough. I'd like to keep the cost to about $300 to $400. Any ideas? I'm 70 so I do get cold easily in 52 degree water. Is this a good choice? I...
There is a large amount of these cameras out know. I've used a Sunpak 4K action cam and been mostly happy with it but the buttons don't hold up well and I've had a case leak. Any other ones out there with a better case?
My 1.5 year old drysuit had a major failure. The neck seal split down to the edge of the seam on both sides. Not much room to glue unless I glue over the sewn seam too. Any ideas? the lady at Otter Bay in Monterey will not fix it. Monterey Bay Diving may be able to but must see it first. A shop...
I bought a neck Bioseal and it works great. I bought a set of wrist Bioseals and as soon as I tried to put one on it ripped. I don't have hardy any fingernails and I was careful when I tried to put it on, but it still tore down the side. The other one was fine. They are thinner than the neck...
I've been diving with a DUI CF200 compressed neoprene dry suit for a few years but decided to get a new laminate suit. Compressed neoprene suits don't seem to be available any more and the dealer told me I'd be warm in this suit. It's the most basic one you sell with a material outer cover over...
(Answer to my email.)
Point Lobos is currently open for diving. The sewage spill did force a closure of diving on Sunday 1/21 as well as the closure of Carmel Beach and Stillwater Cove. The closure has since been lifted. There is now a rain advisory in effect for all Monterey County beaches...
I've been making underwater movies and videos for years. I've worked hard on my YouTube channel and I think most divers should enough the short videos there. Most of my videos in the last few years were taken with Intova U/W video cameras. The last couple of years with the Intova Edge X. I have...
This is a Panasonic DMC-TS3 Lumix camera. I found this camera not too far from the boat ramp coming back from a dive on Friday, June 9th. It was in about 20 feet of water but had still leaked. I removed the battery and SD card and blew out the excess water, then put it all in a bowl of rice over...
I have an older DUI CF 200 drysuit. I wear Lavacore booties over wool socks. I have a real rough time getting my feet all the way into the built in boots. The worst part is getting the heel of the boots over my heels. Once on, they fit fine. The size seems right. My feet are size 8.5W. The suit...
I'm learning the older I get the harder it is to put on my drysuit and to stay warm. (I have a DUI CF200 with built in boots that are a pain to get into.) For under garments I wear a fleece and on top of that a DUI SF2 jumpsuit. I also have a old SPX thininslate VIII. The drysuit is warm enough...
I have a drysuit but I'm sick of the hassle and extra weight needed. I'm looking at the Cressi Lontra 7 mm semi-drysuit. It's supposed to be one of the best. I really like the rear T Zip drysuit zipper and the seals around the ankles, wrists and neck. I'd probably get it with a hooded jacked too...
I found this knife with scabbard in the sand channel on the way back from middle reef at Pt. Lobos in Carmel, Ca. in about 35 feet of water. Tell me the brand and I'll tell you where you can pick it up.
I bought this suit a few months ago used. I am having an ongoing problem of the neck seal leaking in the front. I've tried folding it in at various lengths and even not folding it at all. I use a Pinnacle drysuit hood. I've tested it for leaks with a vacuum cleaner and it's fine. The seal feels...
I've gone diving in Monterey for 40 years, and recently re discovered a large, old steel wheel at Lover's Point in pacific Grove. It's in about 30-35 feet of water straight out from shore where the kelp starts. Anyone have any idea what it was? Photo and full video attached...
I recently went diving with my new Edge X camera and set it to scuba mode. I dove McAbee beach in Monterey where there are lots of old cannery pipes. Most of the pipes are brown. I videoed a rose anemone that was mostly white with some brown color, but in the video it turned out mostly brown...
