Well, it depends. I dive La Jolla Shores more than I'd like to and most of the time we plan our dives out of the canyon (usually 60-70 fsw, but can routinely go to 120+ fsw) such that we swim up out of the canyon and along the sand flats, using it as our safety stop. That said, if I'm at the...

Tough call... Casino Pt., Avalon, Catalina Yukon or Ruby E La Jolla Cove/Pt. Loma (tie) ...we have it good in Southern California. But it's also assuming the kelp beds are back in action (no more devil weed, as the good Dr. likes to call it). EDIT: Caught this from my "Recent Posts' page...

Man, I'd be super nervous using that...

I have a similar problem. The solution I've come up with is a lock-box like this one. I just remove the key fob battery before putting it all in the lock box and shackling it to a door handle (usually with a towel over it to at least sort of hide the whole mess from tempted parties). Seems to...

My Zoop hasn't given me an ounce of trouble. OP, I can understand your frustration, but I don't think it represents even a small minority of people's experiences. Maybe try a Mares next time?

You know...I was just entertaining the idea of getting a beater truck for dive trips...and now this handy little gadget. A sign, perhaps?

You may be right...hadn't even considered that as an option. I guess I'm mostly just paranoid about theft, so the combo lock makes me feel a little better. But if they made a magnetic combo key box.....

Ah, you're lucky. We snorkeled Molokini's inner bowl but didn't want to pay for a boat dive to do the outer wall. Black Rock was a great little dive, and we saw tons of life, turtles included. Even caught a couple hunting morays as well.

My car has passive keyless entry (key somewhere on person, touch door handle and the thing unlocks), so I had to think about it for a while. My solution? Combination lockbox. I remove the keyfob battery, put the battery and the key fob in the lockbox, put the shackle around the door handle...

The one I remember the most? A night dive last summer at Black Rock in Kaanapali. I recall looking up to the surface with my light while at ~25 feet, and seeing the liquid glass that was the underside of the water's surface. I'd never done a night dive with that kind of visibility before, and...

Here's hoping you're right, Bill. I'd love to see some real forest out on Casino Point this year, like the ones I saw back in 2012. Keep us posted!

Congrats! Did my AOW at Casino point, so not quite as nice as a boat dive, but I can't think of a shore dive being easier than stepping off stairs into 10 feet of water. In regards to the temperature, have you considered a 5ml hooded vest? Lots cheaper than a drysuit and it should keep you...

Agreed! The best way to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else is to get the word out! Bailey, I really am sorry this all happened. My heart goes out to you, and I do hope you end up getting your money back. If you are ever further south (San Diego), check out Ocean Enterprises (a PADI...

Wow...quick response! Thank you all for your suggestions; it's a relief to know I don't need to drop another 150 bucks on replacement hoses now. I'll be sure to post back with my first experiences with the new reg (might be some time, though, since my SO/dive buddy is out of commission with a...

First, thank you to everyone on Scubaboard for helping a new-ish diver (and without even knowing it!), I've been lurking for months now. I just pulled the trigger on an AL Titan LX Supreme w/ octo, and I'm wondering about the merits of buying different hoses (not for different length, but...
