Sad news.
288 lake to close at the end of the year. The property is under contract and will be sold.
I got my OW here and dove it frequently year round. Sorry to see it go.
I was there the last week of March. We stayed in the Explorian area not the main campus of FA. I found it clean and well kept. Our room was cleaned regularly and was in good shape. There was a slight musty smell when we arrived but, I think that was due to not having the AC on before.

Mammoth Lake
Sat 07/05
Visibility 5-8.
Surface temp. was warm I did not look at exact temp but I was in a swim suit and comfortable. On the bottom there were some colder spots typical summer Mammoth Lake dive.
Congrats on your certification!
Now the fun part begins.
Here are a few questions for you.
What does your dive buddy dive? What does the people in your dive club dive? What are your dive plans for the next 50 dives? I am asking you this because the more information you have the better...
I am 6'7" it is rough.. the works part will probably still be the plain ride over there.
I use a Bare 3xl 3mil full wet suit... it was a bit tight at first but works fine now. I have a size 13 foot so most of the time fins are not a problem for me. I use a back plate wing like others...
CB5150 thanks for letting me know at least now I know it is not every store. Less than a month ago I wanted to buy Atomic SubFrame ARC at this store. I asked what is the return policy and, that is what I was told. "once I walk out the door its mine" I told the manager I just want to try it on...
As long as the visual inspection is valid so, 1 year. I keep walking in thinking they are going to tell me no but, they don't... so far so good.
If I remember correctly the vip was 25$ and an Air fill is 8$ it does not count for nitrox just air.
Wookie,
That must be it. The one thing they do that I really like is that if you get a vip with them you get free air. I do a good bit of local diving so that is a great deal for me. I have tried to buy other stuff from them but, did not because they have a zero return policy. Once it is...
So I was at my LDS and saw a sign that read something like... "For obvious reasons we will no longer rent regs with mouthpieces". What tha!!?? I honestly cannot remember if it said obvious safety reason or not. I thought it just begged for questioning.
Anyway I ask the sales person about it...
From the chum club board. Good News for the lake.
Mammoth Lake is NOT closing. Ryan is closing his dive shop and we are talking to a Houston Shop about operating the store. I do not anticipate any down time at all at the Lake. The new owners will have it open all week, not just the weekend...
Welcome to bath water I mean Texas lakes!
I can speak for my experiences in the Houston area.
We have a couple of training lakes you could try. The could have any where from 0-20ft vis. 20ft is pretty rare but it does happen. These would be a great start you can enjoy a few dives and be...
Well to better answer you question what things do you want to attach? I found attaching pockets to wet suits is a good idea and you can put a lot of things in them.
Good Job! I think you did a lot of good things. Especially for a guy that has less than 10 dives. I think you also did right by NOT doing the solo. You thought about it but, your intuition told you not to. You should trust those instincts they hardly ever tell you the wrong thing. You can...
I talked to Ryan on Saturday when I was there. He said he is closing the Dive Store and getting out of that business. He also said that someone else owns the lake but, that it would be difficult for them to keep that open without him or someone taking over the store. Basically "its...
