Thanks, Bubbletrouble. So I am back to the main problem: Anybody wants to dive Catalina from 29 Jan? :)

Are there dive shops with air fills within walking distance from Casino? Or air fills at Casino point are the only option?

Yes, I plan to stay on the island (camping), but if will be no boats/buddies, I will definitely go to the main land. I am OW certified (9 logged dives, yes, everybody begins from that). From which location the boat is supposed to start?

Hi, Folks! I plan to dive Catalina (Casino Point and some boat dives) starting Jan. 29 (Sat.), for about a week. Is anyone interested to dive together? Shorter terms (1-2 days) are Ok, too. Its better to find buddies in advance than trying to find someone already on the spot. Any suggestions...

Sure, this is obvious. I simply mean that the place where banger hits the tank is not far from the boot, 2-4 in. If I lift it higher, it becomes more difficult to reach it.

Yep, I also often stare at nature treasures :)

I think I was banging on the tank, but it is down part of the tank, close to the boot. Physically, it is possible that the boot simply dampens the sound...

Basically, I may not know who will be my insta-buddy and what style of diving he will have. I need a banger to prevent situation when I need help, and my new buddy is swimming away and staring at nature treasures...

2 RJP: well, I deploy it simply by pulling with the right hand, and then releasing. The bungee is very tight. The tank had massive plastic boot, maybe the boot dampens the sound?

Yes, I mean this device, plastic ball on bungee ring. Seems that I that I bought a crap.

Hi, I recently bought a tank banger and tried it first time yesterday. To my disappointment, I could hardly hear it myself, let alone my buddies. I am doing smth wrong, or it is the way it works? :)

Thanks a lot, folks! I am looking forward to dive in CA...

Thank you, this helps. I will probably stick to Peace and/or Spectre boats at Ventura. A few questions about Catalina island - are there good dive spots besides Casino Point park, or it is the best? How can I find a buddy there - just meet other divers right at Casino point entry? Thanks!

Hello, California Divers! Please, help with a good local advice. I will be at Ventura in the end of January, and want to spend about a week diving. What are good diving spots there? Does it make sense to travel to LA for diving? Or to any other place nearby? What is the temperature in the...

Hi, I am also looking for a buddy to dive and cut accommodation costs, at Keys or around Miami. Key Largo would be great. What about November? I plan to fly from NY and spend about a week diving. Although, I have fewer dives under my belt - if it would be ok for you. Please let me know if you...
