One of my students lost a small diamond ring at the Catalina Dive Park on June 15th. It was a gift from his Grandmother. We were setting up on the benches and wall by the Casino (if I remember correctly it was the second section as you go North). If anyone found it please let me know (it may in...

Performance of a mask should not depend on depth. Does it feel like the mask is getting tighter on your face as you descend? If so the problem is that your mask is not being equalized. Breath out your nose as you descend.

Looks like the diver had buoyancy problems as well.

Lost an Aqua Lung mask (black with black skirt) and Red Tusa Snorkel at Vet's park in the surf zone right off the stairs on 11/11. Mask has prescription readers added.

Stuff lost at vets frequently ends up far from where it was dropped. The two fins I recently found (posted earlier on this board and still unclaimed - anyone know a Vets diver with the initials of CK?) were found in 50-60' of water northeast of the new monument. They were probably lost in the...

When I drysuit dive off my dinghy I throw my gear in the water then jump in and put on my gear. It's much easier than struggling to get your gear on in a little inflatable.

Found at Vets - Sherwood L-XL black fin with spring strap.

Lost at Veteran's Park, Atomic Aquatics Mask with Snorkel, blue frame, clear skirt. Directly off the stairs in the surf zone Tuesday, 5/30.

Found at Veteran's Park on 10 May. 1 ScubaPro Jet Fin with the initials "CK"

Note that it is actually a misdemeanor, (18.21.060 Penalty for violations.).

I can't tell you about enforcement, but those rules are still on the books. 18.21.030 Hazardous skin diving and scuba diving—Discontinuance orders authorized.

Looking back in this thread I see you were diving with the same amount of weight you used in the pool, which I assume was fresh water. Assuming you were properly weighted for the pool, you would be underweighted in ocean, which would show up at the end of the dive. You need to add a 2.5% of...

Shore diving in California can get complicated. You really need someone to guide you in and out the first couple of times to get use to reading and dealing with the surf, as well as understanding safe and unsafe conditions. I suggest contacting a local shop and seeing if they have any groups...

I was up in the Channel Islands last week on my own boat and heard the marine radio communications of this incident. The CG consulted with a dive physician during this incident and treated it as a dive accident and were transporting the patient to the UCLA chamber. The captain relayed vital...

Lost - Intova Dive light (backup) in Veteran's park directly off the stairs 11' to 20' of water.

This is generally only an issue with boats hooked up to shore power, so it's an issue in marinas where there are generally rules against swimming and diving, and I would imagine in fresh water divers involved in underwater maintenance check the water before they dive (at least I hope they...

Your best bet for this is to call the marina that owns the dock you lost your camera off and ask who the divers are that are authorized to clean boats in the harbor. Call one of them and I'd bet they'd be happy to recover it for you. Diving in that area would be restricted.

Where in LA will you be? Boats in LA usually go out for the entire day (3 tank dives). That pretty much limits you to beach diving. There's a group that dives off Terranea Resort (Old Marine Land) off Palos Verdes Peninsula Sunday mornings at 8AM, There are groups that dive Saturday morning...

Lost at Veteran's Park Oct 10th. One set of Padi Rescue Dive Slates. They have my instructor number on them (323846). Lost somewhere between the shallows right off the stairs and 100' of water bearing approximately 250 degrees. This hasn't been my week. Lee

Lost at Veteran's Park Oct 3rd just north of the stairs in the shallows. Black Aeris Europe Sport Mask with foldable XS Cargo snorkel (also black). Lost by one of my students on entry. Lee
