    New diver getting my certification, is my instructor doing it wrong?

    So Bailey....when all is said and done and you need a really great instructor to make up for the bozo you had the first time around, I can totally reccomend Robert Arak ( who posted on ur thread already). He's fantastic. He trained my 14 year old son (several years ago) and we've dove with him...

    Why does every new diver want to be an instructor?

    Ktkt.....meet Robert. Robert......meet ktkt Wow, maybe I could make a living at being a matchmaker instructor if this works out. Wait, maybe I should have checked, your a female right ktkt?

    How soon can you drink alcohol after diving?

    When I saw the title of this thread I bought to myself...I wonder how long it will take Robert Arak to answer. I opened it and got my answer. My answer? Your lagging behind if you're completely dry before you've opened your beer.

    Sundiver Trips End of December

    Hope you guys plan another SuperBowl dive day on the big boat like you did last year. Great boat, great food, great dives and the SuperBowl on the tv for after diving.....that was one of the most fun dive days of the year for us. You have 3 divers ready to sign up if the boat is going out.

    USS Indra - Great White 9/23 Discovery Diving - Capt. Leroy

    On 6/5/12 we were diving the Hutton with Discovery Dive and my son and I saw an 8-10 foot Great White. We had seen many of the sand tigers thru the week but when you see a Great White...You just know. She came within about 20 ft of us one one pass and we got a long good look at her and then...

    Leo Carillo 9/14/12

    I can say with authority that apparently LC did not get the memo about epic viz in the surrounding area. We did a Friday night sunset dive, splashing as the last speck of light was on the water. Water temp, well didn't check the temp but I can say it was like bathwater and we took our hoods off...

    Brainy the Sand Tiger Shark

    LOL- for any of you who actually know Robert you will know that this is soooo not the most inappropriate thing he has ever said. We call it his outdoor voice. Relax folks, I am often his dive partner....and a woman. And slightly taller than him. Xoxo Robert Now back the the OP. We were on...

    Looking for a dive buddy...

    Mcharvis-we will keep u in mind for shore diving in the coming months. You"ll need to get comfortable shore diving before lobstering because hunting bugs takes a certain skill level in the water (and yes sometimes it is very much like chasing chickens in the barn yard) Shore diving is awesome...

    Looking for a dive buddy...

    Have you shore dived? Are u interested in learning how to lobster dive? Season is coming up and I do a lot of shore diving and lobster diving with my 16 year old son, and hubby, either or (never seems all 3 of us are available. I always seemed to want to dive more than either of them.

    Sundiver Crew Changes

    I heard a rumor that Capt Kyaa is back. Is this true? We had planned to make the Super Bowl day trip our 2nd Annul and Kyaa was a big reason for this.

    shore dives around Ventura Beach (North Los Angeles)

    Deercreek and Leo Carillo both have excellent kelp diving and we usually have a seal or 2 following us around on about 40% of our dives in both spots. Have a great dive!

    shore dives around Ventura Beach (North Los Angeles)

    Deercreek is a great dive spot (hence our moniker). We dive that spot a lot. But I would probablly have to recommend Leo Carillo over Deercreek for a first time diver to our wonderful waters because.....Deercreek is parking on a cliff top along side of the road-Leo C is a 30 yard walk along sand...

    Cenote Diving?

    Angelita is awesome, but not the same type of cenote as the others. It's a huge sink hole that goes straight down, great to do after you have done the others but not as a stand alone "this is the only cenotes were doing" dive. Dos O, Grand Cenote, Taj Mahal etc are all outstanding. Angelita...

    Cozumel Trip Help

    Occidental Grand and Allegro both have sandy beaches. We've stayed at both, and we like both resorts for different reasons (occidental has nicer rooms but no ocean front views but the trade off is a beach club on the water that serves lunch...Allegro has many ocean front rooms but the rooms are...

    Anyone have conditions report for shore dive along Malibu area?

    We did do Catalina on Sat, early boat over, 3:45 boat back. 3 dives in 67 degree water. Viz was fantastic. We got there early and got in the water while the point was deserted, seriously, we were wondering where they all were. Well they must have emerged while we were under water because when we...

    Thanks Geoff! We got new computers (IST GP-3000) that we really want to get wet so were trying to figure out where to go sometime this weekend. Now it looks like were going to be joined by a 3rd buddy whose coming down for a visit this weekend so now I kinda would like to find the best...

    Anyone have conditions report for shore dive along Malibu area?

    Thinking of getting wet with a shore dive or two, maybe Leo Cabrillo or Deercreeker either Friday or Saturday. Does anyone have a recent-ish conditions report? I'm really looking more for viz reports because surf conditions don't really bother me (unless unsafe). Really just want to get wet...
