I'd have to agree with mike here. I was using an Aga for tech dives, built my own gas swtiching block and custom hose lengths ect... I dove it without incident for a solid year, myself and my buddy using similar gear config, only diff was he used an EXO 26 and i the Aga. I was pretty...

Search for these old posts No consistancy is price ( yeah i know it should be "in price) The Last Straw Best Tech Dive training in SoCal And if you notice, my Personal E mail is still in there. Fire one to me if your interested in more. Andy

First off i dont mind the so called "Attack". If you did any kind of a search you would see that i have posted TMD or Andy as my name may diff times. i just didnt feel like outting this shop in a public forum on my threads. I didnt start this thread, but i do feel i have good reason to post...

I have posted about this shops practices in the past. I have only mentioned the name in PM to those who wanted to hear why i dont like this shop and what the situation was. I was not screwed just one time, but many, and what i did see them do to other customers besides myself qualifys me to...

The Cypress shop is great i like them for my teck gas needs. Aqua tec is my top choice even tho i dont live in SD. DONT USE OWHMS The Mike Pratt shop. I have posted about his shop before, not using the name.... arughghhh. PPL you have been warned!! TMD

Lots of tatoos out their and lots of people in our military have them. Are you saying our military is low class too ? Its a rite of passage for alot of people who served, i take great offense to your comment MOFO. TMD

So its ok to catch a fish and kill it to eat it but its not ok to catch a fish wine it and dine it then kill it and eat it. Pol jokes aside i think its absolutely stupid to charge them with anything. TMD

Nice report. Pity i had to go out of town for Turkey day, a 3 day diving trip sounds like a great time. TMD

Saw this in the paper this morn, very sad news. I will watch the paper for any updates, i would like to know more about his equipment and its testing. TMD

Arnaud is right on IMHO I priced a suit at a local big chain in So Cal and it was over 2 times the cost i actually got for. had i not had a connection to get the suit i would have paid a fortune. i am also comparing the $ i paid to the CHEAPEST i i was able to find the suit, ie the big...

i will be diving again in mid to late Dec. My drysuit will be away for mods for a week or 2 at the most i hope. Soon as its done i will be diving the La Jolla Shores area ( Marine Room ) on the weekends. i will shoot you a PM in a week or so when i know when my suit will be done. Andy

I dive mostly the La jolla shores because its a prtected cove. It gets ugly doing shore dives depending on the weather. la Jolla cove on the other hand is not protected and usually has some big surf, this is not a good place to go if your just starting out and have only a few beach entries...

Welcome aboard from the not so warm now So Cal divers. Go ahead a laugh, it was only 60 degrees today :) Andy

Being that i wasnt a stock size, and frankly who is, i ended up getting the SS CLX450. Why, I wanted a better fiiting suit than my old Viking, that was like swiming in a ziplock bag. I wasnt going to fit perfectly in a stock size according to DUI. Also, Even with a custom i still wont...

How frustrating, guess i wont take the fact DUI is 75 min south of me for granted anymore. I will be headed there this coming Sat. Good luck to you. Andy I was in Dallas when i got my first suit ( bought it sight unseen from a shop in CA) It fit, but it was baggy. Decieded on the...

hmmmmm i choose "C" It doesnt matter to me so long as we have a Cal chapter and a place to post. I do get up to Tahoe to dive every so often so i like to here about both N an S diving oportunities, Experiences and potential future sites i may want to visit. its all good Andy

Easy, SOJURNER! Dove off this Private 95'er earlier in the year, it has ruined offically ruined all other dive boats for me :( My Santa Cruz trip had all of 5 actual divers the other 4 ppl on board were crew, they also dove tho. 5 divers on a 95'er, can you say spacious! The boat has...

The location i think was Cancun, i will have to check on it. TMD

Sorry if this is already posted, i didnt see it. Francisco "Pipin" Ferreras dove to 170 meters yesterday, Sunday October 12 th 2003. It was in honor of his wife, Audrey Mestre, who died last year on a WR attempt. James Cameron was there filming for his upcoming movie about Pipin. I...
