I will be staying in Kaanapali in September and want to rent tanks and weights. I haven't had any luck finding a shop that rents them near Kaanapali. Is anyone aware of a dive shop that rents tanks and weights in the area? Thanks

Diving with Nick and crew at Mana Crack was a terrific experience. Nick is a great dive master and guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Kauai and the sea life. The underwater topography at Mana Crack is amazing. It is unlike anywhere else that I have dove. The ancient coral with...

We went out to Talcott Shoals on the Peace Friday. This was my first trip there. When we arrived the wind was blowing some. There was some chop in the swells. Captain Eric moved to a calmer spot and we made our first dive. The visibility was 40+ feet. We could see the boat from the bottom. My...

I am going to be in Kauai next July for 2 weeks. I have been there before I was certified to dive. My son and I did a discover SCUBA dive at Koloa Landing.

My friend Larry and I went over to Catalina to dive Casino Point. We hadn't been in a couple of years. We had a great time and the diving was awesome. The visibility was at least 80 feet the first day and varied from 40 to 80 the other two days depending on the number of OW divers rototilling...

I had a great trip to dive at Catalina on the Magician a week ago. My friends Larry, Kirk and I drove down to San Pedro for a 3 dive trip to Catalina. Our first dive at Goat Harbor was my 100th dive :D. It was an awesome dive with over 85 feet of visibility. The water was 70 on the surface and...

My friend Larry and I took a day trip to Pt. Lobos on Monday. When we arrived Whaler's Cove was flat calm. We got our gear together and after helping a family get their car and trailer off of the boat launch we started our first dive. The kelp is really thick right now, so we only swam out about...

I got to dive San Miguel last Sunday with my friend Larry and my son Chris aboard the Conception. We left Santa Barbara at 3:00 AM and arrived at our first dive stop about 7:00 AM.

On Thursday, May 31, my friend Larry and I joined a group from SLO Ocean Currents dive shop on a trip from Morro Bay up the Big Sur coast. Our first stop was at Tide Rock near Lopez Point. It is a pair of pinnacles with lots of life on them. I got to see Purple Hydrocoral for the first time at...

I finally got to go on my first dive of 2012. I went on the Peace to Anacapa. The weather was great, but the current was running pretty strong on Saturday. It limited our dive spots. We dove Cat Rock, Rat Rock, Channels and just west of Fish Bowl. Saw tons of Brittle Stars and urchins, one sea...

I made reservations at Pt Lobos for Friday. The forecast is calling for 9 ft swells. Is Lobos dive-able with 9 ft swells? I am wondering if the swells will be very big at the launch ramp.

I went out on the Peace Wednesday 8-3. We were supposed to go to San Miguel, but it was too rough and windy so we stopped at Santa Rosa. We did three dives at Santa Rosa and one on the backside of Santa Cruz. Overall it was a fun trip but very tiring. The current was pretty strong at Santa Rosa...
