If you recently lost a light at Point Lobos my buddy Tuomo found it yesterday (Sunday Feb 25). Hadn't been down long. We heard a rumor somebody had lost a light Saturday but didn't have a name. It's at the front gate at the park. Clinton

Last month I had the privilege of spending 2 weeks on Pelagic Australis diving the Falkland Islands. Falkland Islands It's adventure/expedition diving and we only managed 9 dives so I'm not yet willing to offer a definitive take on the diving. But that said, what we found was very good. Lots...

In October, 2013, Bay Area Underwater Explorers (BAUE Home Page), in collaboration with NOAA, mounted a weeklong dive expedition to Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary off of the dive boat Escapade. We visited Craine's Point and the Northern East and Northern West Ridges. The water was so...

Well, vis in the first 100 feet was pretty bad though it was clear below that. OTOH by far the best diving was at the 20 foot stop on the way back up. :D Full gallery here: Dolphins at the 3 Nixies Clinton

I had the great privilege of spending last week diving with Alicia Hermosillo in Bahia de Banderas (Puerto Vallarta). We ended up seeing 64 species of opisthobranchs in 6 days of diving. 90% of these I'd never have seen without Ali who knows more about the nudibranchs in this area than anyone...

At 9 AM this morning the 46042 buoy was reading 12 feet with nearly 20 knot winds. The Navy Wave Model was showing orange for most of Northern and Central California (12-15 foot waves). The forecast the night before had been for a 9-12 foot swell though the 9AM forecast only said 7-9. As we...

Dove Point Lobos with Mike Jimenez on Saturday. We got off to a slow start as Mike's drysuit inflator failed open as we descended for the first dive. Bad thing about that is that water comes in when you remove the hose! We swam back in, fixed the inflator and waited a bit for Mike's...

Was out diving with Kathy, John and some of the other usual suspects today on the Cypress Sea. Pretty nice conditions. We dove the Outer Pinnacles, Mono Lobo Wall and the Pescadero Wash Rock. Had decent to excellent visibility. A bit surgy at the Pinnacles but manageable. More or less calm at...

Hi All, Just got back from a great 12 day trip on the FeBrina doing their usual Bismark Sea itinerary plus a few days in Kavieng. Diving was great. Alan was as colorful and entertaining a person as I've ever met and the dive guides headed by Josie and Digger did a fantastic job of critter...

Hi all, Just got back a few weeks ago from a trip to SE Alaska on the Nautilus Explorer. We started in Ketchikan and finished in Juneau with stops near Port Alexander and Inian Island among other places. Great trip as always. I love the diving in BC and Alaska. Photos here: Alaska 2008...

My friend Sami and I are back from Milne Bay, PNG where we spent 10 days at the Tawali resort. My week was courtesy of the NCUPS Beach Dive Photo Competition in Monterey last year. Of course actually getting there probably cost me more than the value of the week at the resort, depending on the...
