    San Carlos Beach/Breakwater Cove, Monterey, CA

    i agree with your point of survivability of the incident in question. As a First Responder, any loss of life effects me greatly. I frequently respond to motor vehicle accidents and take away the horror of each one. It is also part of the response to analyze each incident and evaluate what we...

    San Carlos Beach/Breakwater Cove, Monterey, CA

    My point is not to belittle or demean the efforts or add to the already over taxed men and women of the USCG, but being an east coast diver I have seen USCG as well as local police boats respond to diver distress calls and response has always been quick. The speed that they are able to be on...

    San Carlos Beach/Breakwater Cove, Monterey, CA

    I do understand your point of how much is necessary, but watching the effort that was needed to get the diver to shore, as well as the lost time made survivability questionable. Seems to me that with the USCG station right there they surely could cut some guys loose to maintain a watch on the...

    San Carlos Beach/Breakwater Cove, Monterey, CA

    I saw this happen as well and would like to know the same information. From what I heard, of course not the most reliable source, it was a training dive and she was in about 20', so to me, that appears to be an OW training dive. Saw a lot of CPR, but not much AED shock. Hope it went well for...

    Traveling to St Thomas in February

    Frenchman's Reef is a fantastic resort. There is a wide range of dining options on the property from the very expensive Aqua Terra to buying a Starbucks Sandwich at the Gift Shop, you really never have to leave the resort. (The breakfast buffet can be a bit pricey, but opting for a la cart...

    Traveling to St Thomas in February

    Just back from a week in St. Thomas. We dove with Duane and Admiralty Dive Center for four days and had a great time. He does choose the dives based on prevailing diver ability, weather, sea state and where they feel the best chance of seeing something cool is. They do a great job and are...

    My son and I are heading to the Florida Keys next week for some well deserved underwater time. Our plan, at this time, is to hit Key Largo and do some of the dives they have there, starting with some reef dives then progressing to the Spiegle Grove, Duane and Bibb. We really want to do the...

    Panama diving?

    Thanks, Unfortunately I'll mostly be in Panama City. I've been in Contact with ScubaPanama and they seem to have a couple of things that may work for me. I have a couple of non-diving co-workers coming along so Portobello may be the best bet. I appreciate all the local information.

    Best signalling equipment from the searchers point of view

    Quick question that I haven't seen, not to say that it hasn't been addressed. I carry "Orion" hand held flares and smoke signals on my boat, I'm just wondering if they would work after diving with them. Does anyone have any experience with this or have you heard if they are effective after...

    Double dip on North Palm wrecks - Thursday, 1/8/09

    I am going to be in West Palm for the 16th to the 19th. Can you help out and suggest a LDS or dive operator that you would go out with. I have gone with SFDH before and found the small boat great but the big boats overwhelming. I'll be up around the PGA Blvd area so something closer to that...

    Need suggestions for 10/3 and 10/4

    I have just found out that I am going to be at the Le Merigot, A JW Marriott Beach Hotel & Spa in Santa Monica. They list scuba on their website, but I was wondering if anyone can recommend either a LDS or boat to contact directly. I think that Friday may be the only day available for me to...

    Define what constitutes a good instructor?

    For me it is simple , I have to get the feeling that they love what they are doing and actually want to be teaching.
