Thanks for the dive! It was nice to meet you all and I'll look forward to doing this again soon. Sorry that I had to wuss out for the second dive, but my ankle was (and is still) hurting and I don't think it would have appreciated another trek up & down those stairs in full gear. Oh well...

It's about time that I go on one of these "Wrinkles Dives", so I'll be coming up from San Diego. Exactly Where and When shall I meet you all? If anyone is interested in carpooling up from San Diego, let me know. --Dan

Horizon Charters is a very nice operation. http://www.horizoncharters.com Good boat, good crew, good food. It's not luxury accomodations, but if you are looking for an eat-sleep-dive trip, then it's just about perfect. I've done San Clemente Island with them, and had a blast. I hear the...

Mech, I shore dive at Scripps Canyon every Thursday night with the seadeucers. We usually run dives on the weekends as well, and sometimes on other weeknights. Everyone gets 1 free dive with the seadeucers, if you want to keep diving with the club, then we ask you to join. You may be able...

I would say that is a fair assessment. --Dan

We both have the Seaquest AirSource (octo integrated with the power inflator). It was really no problem with the ascent, as you are still able to dump air while you breath it. It would be nice to have a longer hose for donating the regulator, and we found it was best to breath off the donated...

It was 52f and it is an Aqualung Legend LX Supreme. I don't think freezing was an issue. More likely it was a too agressive setting of the breathing effort knob. When we were cleaning it after the dive, we were able to get it to freeflow again, but it would stop if you placed a hand over it...

I was doing my usual Thursday night Seadeucer's dive at Scripps Canyon. My team consisted of myself (200+ dives), Ron (younger brother, divemaster, 100+ dives), and the lovely Ms. Cat (great dive buddy, 1000+ dives). The three of us were about 15 minutes into the dive, 100 feet down, and...

Hey Marc, This is Dan. I dove with you at Scripps last night. I have a spare set of ZipSeals, and I would be willing to let you have my spare neck seal (provided that you replace it when they are back in stock). PM me and we can arrange to meet up. --Dan

I am going. Not sure if I'll be there on Saturday or Sunday, but I'll definitely be there. --Dan

I'm not sure exactly what happened to it. I had close to 100 dives on it, but it should have been good for many more... The most likely explanation that I can think of is that it got snagged on the drysuit hanger. The Yukon was a little murky (10ft vis or so) so we stayed inside the wreck for...

On Sunday morning I was packing up my gear for an afternoon dive on the Lois Ann (2 Tank, Yukon). As I was folding up the drysuit, I discovered that my neck seal had ripped. :11: Ordinarily, this might mean that it was time to get the wetsuit out of the closet... But not for me! I zipped on...

Strawberry Anemones on the wreck of the Ruby E. Located under 85fsw in San Diego.

Just a few inches long. Taken on a night dive at La Jolla Shores.

Buster the Broomtail Grouper, at home in 105fsw under the bow of the Yukon. Buster is a big fish, probably weighing a couple hundred pounds.

WWI Destroyer, sunk as a bombing target in the 40s... Located in 120fsw a few miles out of San Diego.

I never had any issues with the neck seal being too small. Donning & doffing my suit with the ZipSeals feels about the same as the normal DUI suits. (I tried 4 of 'em during the DUI Demo Days: TLS350, FLX5050, CLX450, CF200) Maybe you all have really big heads? :sarcasm: Or maybe it is just...

I have them and they are very tough. I have made about 40 dives on them so far and no leaks or problems of any kind. If you were to pull on them I think the latex would rip before the ZipSeals came apart.... I just ordered a set of ZipGloves. It will be so nice to have dry gloves without...
