    Knife

    I have three knives: First is a rescue cutter. The scabbard (if you could call the thing that holds it, that) is attached to one of my BC shoulder straps. I haven't determined yet, which one its going to stay on. I want it visible in the event i have to have my gear cut away, or am doing it...

    Dive Site Names in So Cal

    Ok, so maybe I should have said, give me your favorite dive sites... Bill, not only a problem for dive sites. I've rafted the Kern river several times. There's features in and along the river, and some of them go by dozens of names.

    Thanks for the few PMs. Just about have what I need. Could use a few more generic reef, beach type shots.

    Dive Site Names in So Cal

    Sam, Steve, I'm working on an iphone game as a fund raiser for WAVES. Since WAVES is Vets and SCUBA I'm doing the first one for Divers, then will do another with a military theme. So I'm thinking of "dive trips" then "dive sites". Need them for a bunch of different areas. I can pull up all...

    Another Lesson Learned

    I think the primary lesson here is being missed. It's great that you had the presence of mind to stay calm and get yourself out of a bad situation, but real lesson here is that if it's "debatable" conditions don't do the dive. Thumb it before you put you're self in an ugly situation.

    Catalina Dive Park Nov 5th

    WAVES Project will be out there on Saturday with some wounded warriors and their buddies going through an OW class. Sounds like the conditions are still going to be pretty good for class.

    Your Most Interesting Moment Underwater

    Mine isn't in the water, but immediately after exiting the water. I was diving with three wounded warriors and their buddies. All are on their first open water dive for an PADI OW class. Getting to see the look in their eyes after the dive and talk about how SCUBA helped them. Priceless.

    Another Lesson Learned

    TM, I've read this a few times and I'm not sure what the lesson you're trying to impart is. I'm not intentionally trying to be obtuse, I promise.

    "Breathing problems" - continuing the story ...

    Sandy, Glad you're getting a different perspective on the instructional side. One thing to keep in mind. Mask straps should not be real tight. Just enough to hold it to your face. If they are too tight, they tend to deform the mask skirt and that can allow the mask to leak. If you're...

    rinsing gear in a drought

    Like most, i just use a small trash can full about 1/2 with water, then final rinse. If I was really worried, I'd just us my shower.

    Game Background

    Hi all, I'm working on an iphone/android game. Other than the obvious tie into SCUBA, I won't talk about what kind of game yet. The profits from in app purchases will go to the WAVES Project. I've talked about WAVES in other posts. I need a few images to use as backgrounds. I'll credit...

    Experience as a trainee divemaster

    +1 to RJP, Mike, and Dennis. Learn from everyone you meet. Good, bad or indifferent. DM is a certification, not a hazing ritual. You have the standards, look them up. The instructor might just be pushing you a little to see what your willingness to serve is. If it continues, you need to...

    Ho Hum, another day in paradise!

    Great video. I'm no so sure you are using 'coup de grace' in the right context. Unless something happened to the ray after filming.

    Fingertip tool for too close camera buttons?

    No clue about sizing. I know they are split on the back and I'd bet with some gentle heating they could be stretched open. Might make it easier that way to slide on from the side, rather than over the finger.

    Catalina Express

    Weighing at Long Beach and San Pedro seems pretty spotty. I keep my weight bag and wet suit bag strapped to the top of my box. It's not the larger stanly, but works well. If they are weighing, I just pop the straps off pick up the bags and I'm all set. copied from the CE web site Baggage...

    Fingertip tool for too close camera buttons?

    These are "finger pens". What about one of them with the writing point removed?

    Gravity Sucks

    So, an aside. One of our admin assistants had a major issue with her ankle. Broke it at a grand kids softball game. She had one of the scooters. Everyone around used to steal it and go for one knee scooter rides in the hall way. It was fun until one day when the CEO (5 billion dollar company...

    Think I saw you around the steps a couple of times, but didn't want to make a fool of myself if it wasn't. :D

    Is there a hand signal for "wait a moment" or something similar

    "Closed fist", always meant danger to us when I first started diving. "Hold on" for me is just Cop stop hand as mentioned above.
