Tell us a little about them Don. I've got hundreds of hours under water in CA, never seen on. Let's start with their range? What is it about the Leatherback that makes it uniquely identify itself with CA? Where is the "connection" Remember, in CA the whole deal is gold. Golden Trout, Poppy...

If you have the watch in the picture I posted, the kit is the one I posted next to it, you will be good to go. Best, Mark

Here is a picture of the kit and the watch.

Do you have a Stinger? Please post up a pic of your dive watch. I haven't been following along for a while, but IIRC there was only one bezel on the Stinger.

Are you asking me? If so, I received my kit in about a week from Germany to California. I did two battery / o-ring swaps for a total of about 50.00. The next two will cost me about 10 bucks, if that. I've had both of them in the water, but neither very deep as I don't really SCUBA anymore...

I ordered the kit to do this from Germany about 1.5 weeks ago. It came today and I changed the battery in one of my Stingers in about 15 minutes. The other one is about due too, just have to get the battery. Here is a link to the kit. http://www.smartinterface.de/artikel.php?id=24&kat=5 It...

I assumed Giant Kelp. Bull kelp sits on the surface a lot more than Giant Kelp and seems like it would be difficlut to get tangled in. I've only dived Stillwater once or maybe twice and I seem to remember it having a lot of Giant Kelp, but I could be mistaken... However I'm sure you are right...

Total time. There of course are a lot of variables. How long you were down, how much you exerted yourself. Most dives for the occasional ab diver are going to be in the 30 second range I would guess. If you do get stuck, spit out your snorkel (actually it is better to spit it out at the...

Good job you guys! You did everything you could, RIP to the unfortunate diver. Jeff down at Otter Bay in Monterey can do a custom knife holder for you. I put mine on my chest. Keep it somewhere you can reach it with both hands. If you ever get stuck, you have a LOT more air then you think...

You are kidding right? Fish is one of the most sensitive foods we deal with. When spearfishing I clean my fish in the water and take utmost care to ensure that my catch doesn't get "bruised" and banged around on the trip to the cooler. I never fed my family fish before I started spearing since...

It is currently legal to spearfish at the BW. There is no official reserve there, but one does take effect on 9 / 21 / 07. After that it will be illegal to spear there, but you can still H&L. The city of Monterey calls that area the Friends of Edward F. Ricketts Marine Reserve. They claim that...

So, best way to dive the North coast is to find all the hiding officials and people around and let each and every one of them know what you are up to? What is the best way to identify the people on the beach that will be there when you return? The divers did nothing wrong and there is nothing...

Gonphishin has met me a few times. :crafty:

Apples and oranges. You either have to do the whole thing with the "real" tables or with the GUE tables, you can't mix them. What letter diver was he after the first dive and what is NDL for that letter diver? Mark

AG and JT taught 1 minute to 75% of the max ATA, 1 minute to 50% then 1 minute stops every 10' from there. For the second dive you would double the stops IIRC. Most of the GUE trained folks I dived with would do 1 minute per every 10' for the first dive and 2 min per 10' for the second dive...

http://diver.net/seahunt/d_rashel.htm Abalone dust is reported to be pretty toxic. If you plan on working with the shells make sure you research proper mask systems. Mark

Since I'm an "all knowing type". There are no laws against having SCUBA equipment in your vehicle with abalone. Of course, you should read the regulations yourself so you have a good idea: 29.15. Abalone. (a) Geographical Area: Abalone may only be taken north of a line drawn due west...

No, I'll wait till KnightRocks can make it. :rofl3: Mark

There is a similiar article GI wrote with his support divers getting DCS freediving for O2 bottles at 20' after the dives. Do you understand why a PFO can be so dangerous on SCUBA? Mark

Maybe and probably. I posed the exact same question to Kirk in the Performance Freediving Class. Remember, he is not only a freediver trainer, he is a RB trainer, and a technical SCUBA trainer. His answer was "No" and I believe that is the official stance of the CAFA. Mark
