I was on the 9am from San Pedro to Avalon this morning and they weighed most of the bags - anyone with an obviously light bag was waved through.

Hi Megaan. I've decided not to do Catalina on Tuesday because I don't have a buddy either lol....are you still looking for one on Friday?

I'll put one of those little cards in all the phoneboxes - "dive buddy wanted, call 0800-shotgun"

I will be on Catalina Island on Tuesday 28th for the first time- 10am ferry, hoping to get at least 2 dives and maybe 3 in but don't have a buddy. Anyone fancy buddying with a uk dm?

Silly m,e got my dates mixed upo - I did the Sceptre Friday just gone. I will be on Catalina Island sometime this week but not sure which day yet,probably Tuesday or Friday ---------- Post added October 26th, 2014 at 07:55 PM ---------- ok so we are doing Catalina on Tuesday - booked on the...

Personally I think a leaking mask is a bad thing - it means that either your mask doesn't fit you properly or the skirt is aging/wearing. Sure they let in the odd bit of water (if you grimace/smile/frown etc) but that should be the exception (unless you're narked and your buddy is doing a...

If I hadn't just booked to go on The Sceptre I'd have said yes....

I'm glad you managed to achieve what you set out to achieve. I'd heard that the change in climate was affecting the area adversely :( We're seeing climate changes back home too but mostly we are enjoying it, our bottom temps can be as low as 4 degrees inland and 6-7 coast so any increases are...

Hi Aki, I've done most of my diving in the UK but only one in socal and that was with CDAM yesterday. If we were back home I'd take you up on your offer but since I don't have any local knowledge it wouldn't be a sensible thing to do :(

Hello Peeps, I'm spending the day near Malibu Beach this Thursday and should be able to get away for a dive. Anyone fancy buddying up?

Thanks for the offer drbill - I will want to be taking some pics for the scrapbook but since it's my first time there I'll be exploring a bit too. Thanks again - have a good dive :)

Thanks guys...and I don't dive solo dytis, except when setting marker bouys or shot lines for training exercises :)

Hello socal divers, I'm here on holiday for a few weeks and planning to dive Catalina Island on Monday or Tuesday - is anyone else going to be there buddyless and prepared to buddy up with a uk based PADI DM for a few fun dives?

Thank you Steve. Lamarpaulski, one of my best ever UK dives was last October off the Farne Islands playing with seals for an hour so the sea lions sounds like a similarly great must-do :)

Thanks Geoff. I'll be able to leave the wife to do other stuff for a few days but we do plan to stay on Catalina Island for a weekend too - she can enjoy the scenery topside and I'll enjoy it under the surface. I've dived off rocky shores before but not surf or sand so I'm looking forward to...

Thanks for that info fnfalman, it is much appreciated. I've been in kelp forests twice off the Farne Islands but from what I'm reading the stuff you are talking about will make that look like freshly mowed grass! Any idea of who are reputable groups/schools to dive with near Hollywood? I'm a...

Hi Peeps, I'm a uk diver and will be staying just outside Hollywood for a few weeks from the middle of October. I've never dived in your part of the world before and am looking for some advice re who to dive with, where to dive, temperatures etc. My research seems to indicate that your...
