Hi all, I lost a Scubapro Jet Fin with XS Scuba spring strap on the Jupiter reef last week (1/27). I was with Jupiter Diving Center and don't remember the site but I believe it was south of what they call "The Bluffs". It's got my last name on it (Tseng) as well as my email (I think). If...

Found: Gray paddle fin with spring strap at Veteran's Park in Redondo Beach. PM me the make/model if it's yours.

I started poking around myself; Cylinder Services in Pico Rivera offers + and potentially even star rating tank testing. They have a week turn-around and do testing on Wednesdays. $30 for the hydro, failed to ask about tumbling. Cylinder-Services And no, this isn't an endorsement; I'm...

Bummer.... I've got a couple LP tanks that are due for hydro soon. I was going to take them to PacWild but really would like to get them + rated. I'd love to hear the results of your search so I can figure out where to send mine.

There's a harbormaster? I dove it a couple years ago having sailed a boat up from Marina del Rey and anchored outside the breakwall by 50 yards or so. We swam in through the gaps in the breakwall, though getting out was a bit tricky when the surge picked up. If you do it by boat, you have...

Somewhat recently, Eco Dive Center (Los Angeles Scuba Dive Shop | Eco Dive Center) had Apollo AV-2's or AV-3's for rent if I recall. Though I think they claimed you have to be DPV certified to rent them, whatever that means.

What kind of boat? Sailboat or power boat? Are you planning on going to Avalon or Two Harbors? If you're looking to launch close, San Pedro / Cabrillo Beach has a public ramp and parking at $15/day with trailers attached. It's not unsafe but it's probably not my first choice in leaving a car...

Apologies in advance for the thread jack but .... Am I missing something here? Is there some teachable skill to following a line that I don't know of? Just to keep it somewhat relevant, having a piece of plastic with NAUI and Master Diver on it and having compared the in water skills with...

You might consider posting this in the main SoCal forum rather than the Trips and Marketplace area. There's plenty of shore diving and people to diving with you in the South Bay / Redondo Beach area, most common is Dive Vets which dives out of Veteran's Park in Redondo on Wednesdays. There's a...

Glad you had a good dive Chip... sorry I couldn't make it, next time you're out though!

Another thing about insurance... if you have State Farm insurance, they have a personal articles policy that you can take out on camera gear that includes loss. When I asked, it even included flood and loss while diving though you should check with an agent to confirm again. It's actually a...

Thanks a bunch for the info! I figured I wasn't going to bother with the roller bag if it didn't come with.

I failed to ask when I booked my spot so I'm wondering, what's the layout of the Sundiver Express? Do you leave roller bags on shore? Is there room for tubs under the benches? It's kind of hard to tell from the pictures. Thanks!

That would make a lot of sense... thanks for the info Joe!

I'm hoping someone can shed some light (no pun intended) on this for me. I picked up an ISS4000 a bit ago and have been waiting for the PX35 fiber optic cable to come available. Now that I finally have it in my hands, either the cable has the wrong plug on it or I'm missing the proper port on...

Probably. There were actually 2 shoulder dumps on his BC, just no rear dump. I think the lack of pre-dive checking / prep (partially my fault) and the lack of a rear dump didn't help. That said, if you do end up with a BP/W setup, you'll find that more often than not, you're using the rear...

It was great diving last night... ankle slappers at the start which got a little bigger later in the night and not too cold either. Aside from the buoyancy adjustment, we had a great time dive together!

There's going to be a bunch of us there at Vets on Wednesday, so we can find you a buddy. Just be sure to bring about $1.50 - $2.50 in quarters ($1 / hour) and your lights.

I'm a little late to the thread but I did LA County ADP last year. This year's ADP program is wrapping up in a couple weeks so you'll have to wait for next summer. While some opinions are it's not as great as it has been in years past, it's still a great program. It's more expensive than your...

Vet's is actually a pretty decent place to go play with gear but not if you've never done a night dive before. It's definitely worth playing with during the day, in the pool, or in conditions you're familiar with so you're not overly task loaded. Check the surf forecasts there and find a nice...
