This is a chilling read for those of us that love to visit mexico, particularly since the skimmer is INSIDE the ATM thanks to corrupt technicians. http://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/09/tracking-a-bluetooth-skimmer-gang-in-mexico Bottem line: NEVER use an ATM that is not physically inside a bank...

What the heck is this??? Just got back from a week on Maui and found this little guy in about 45' of water off of Ulua.

I thought I'd post a short trip report from my return to Tulum 12/11-12/16. As background I went to Tulum in March and dove for a week with Bil Phillips @ Speleotech to earn my NSS-CDS Basic Cave cert. This was by far the most challenging (and rewarding) cert I have ever tried so I was eager...

This had all the potential to end with a multiple fatality. The lesson learned here for me is know your limits and respect the ocean. Retiree helps rescue trapped divers in La Jolla - SignOnSanDiego.com Retiree helps rescue trapped divers in La Jolla By Craig Gustafson Sunday, October...

The location of the wreck of the USS Vammen (DE-644) had been located off of SoCal. Sunk during the Condor missile testing program this is an amazing wreck. You can read the dive report here: USS VAMMEN (DE-644) With a history that spans the period from WWII to Vietnam, you can read about the...

In the neverending quest to fine tune my skills I've been going to the UTD pool sessions in Oceanside for the last 2 weeks. All I can say is WOW, working with Jeff has been fantastic! He's been helping me fine tune my bouyancy since my transition to doubles, even better he worked on my back kick...

I love my ZS3, but in cold SoCal water gloves make holding it comfortably a drag, plus I'm used to the strobe arm on my old Nikonos so I thought it would be handy to buy a tray and handle to make the camrea easier to handle, and in the future maybe add an extrnal strobe. Bad Idea Seems the...

Barely used, bought a can light so it's gotta go! $75/OBO + shipping if not local to SoCal

It's amazing the paths that life takes us. 2 Years ago I went to PDC to enjoy the reefs, swim with the fishies. Mother nature threw me a curve with a 3 day long storm that made the ocean an unwelcome mass of froth. Prior to the trip the dive op I was working with had suggested a Cenote dive...

Well I just got home from my bonus trip to Maui, just a short 6 days, but I got 3 more days of diving with B&B. Firsy day was a bit windy, we dove middle reef at Molokini for the first tank, yat another gem. Sharks, big Ulua, garden eels, just a great time. I left my Nikonos home on this trip...

Just returned from a lovely 11 days on Maui, man I love this place. Really a fine trip, only downside was my diving was cut short a little by a cold. Still I got in 1 day of shor diving and 4 days of boat diving. On past trips I have dove with Maui Dreams, Ed Robinsons, and Mike Severns and...

I'm supposed to head over this weekend to dive the park with a friend. Some reports I've read sound pretty dismal. Any updates? Maybe take the mountain bike instead of the scuba gear?

Not an accident nor an incident, but I thought it was interesting. Mods feel free to move as needed: Man in fake diving death case held in Las Vegas The Associated Press 11:03 a.m. April 2, 2009 LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. A man who police say faked his own death in a Southern California...

Anybody interested in a dive or two tomorrow AM? Preferabble meet early, say around 7:30? Up for suggestions.

And I'm not wet either! Well I got to dive my new dry suit today, so first I want to say THANKS to everybody that gave me advide during the order/purchase process (In particular Mike aka SoCalSwami). I ended up with a TLS350 signature series with rock boots. I dove it in the pool Wednesday...

Picked up my new TLS350 last week and got to pool test it last night. Love the suit but I'm having an issue getting out of it! Getting my right arm out of the suit is a contortion act, seriously! Even with help it just doesn't want to come off. I purchased a signature series so it is close...

I'm thinking about next year already, and Grand Cayman seems like it's worth a visit. I was thinking about this time next year, pretty much out of the hurricane season, but before the winter rush, but I'm quite flexible since I have a LOT of time to plan. Is this a good time to go? What is the...
