    Scubapro Seawing Nova

    Yeah, it's a little vague. But it sounds like Bob's trying to get Mark to talk up the FF. Who knows. All I know is 2 things: 1. I like my Nova's. Even in the ripping current off Jupiter (Fl). 2. I'm sick of Bob talking up his FF

    Scubapro Seawing Nova

    BDSC, the negative comments from Mark are obviously because he works for, or is friends with Bob Evans (see Bob's comment below), who downplays everything that is not his precious little force fins. I'm not saying the FF is bad, I'm just saying Bob's attitude toward everything that is not FF is...

    Scubapro Seawing Nova

    I've been diving mine for a couple of weeks now. They took a little getting used to. Slower movements generate more power. You can do a frog kick using a slower kick with a good recovery. I have dove mostly cave and use OMS Slipstream fins. I wanted something for open water as I am doing...

    Dive reports with beach/weather conditions

    Did my first kayak dive today from N. Venice pier. Followed GPS to outskirts of the boneyard. 2-3 ft vis. Then went about 100 yards N. of Pier. Vis was about 6". If anyone has lost Jack Squat, I found him. However, I am now hooked on kayak diving, although mine is not really good for this. I...

    Not worth the pics, just some bulls, lemons, one sand tiger, and one bottom tip meg frag about 1 and 1/4" long. It was my girlfriends 3rd or 4th dive since getting certified, the tide was going out, and it was getting choppy. So, I opted to not go too far out. I did see an out-of-stater come...

    OK. Went to Venice beach today. We got in about 11am, 64 minute dive. The viz was about 3-4 feet, which is really good for Venice Beach. We found a few nice teeth, only went out to 17ft deep. We went about 50 yards south of the lifeguard stand south of the pavillion. I hadn't realized those 4ft...

    The weather forcast is only if you're diving off a boat. Any other dive sit is ok to go to. If the viz is bad, there are still good restaurants with cold beer. This is lesson #1 for all newly certified divers.

    My GF and I are going there tomorrow late morning. I'm hoping the viz isn't too bad. She is recently certified herself. I've been to the main beach 10-15 times or so, but never to Caspersen Beach or Alahara (I may be mispronouncing it) or Service Beach. Can anyone give me solid information on...
