What are the conditions at the lake right now? Lake high or low. Surface temps and the rest. Old Scubasteve is ready to return to my old spawning grounds
I never have a problem diving with a new diver. Welcome to the addition. The class teaches you how not to die. Diving teaches you how to dive. Don't worry about making mistakes. It's how you learn. Besides, they killed the last perfect guy. As long as you don't mind hanging out with an old guy...
When do you want to go to the lake (pleasant). I have hundreds of dives there and am happy to introduce you to some of my fishy friends. Have you been to any of the shore dive spots? Did you get your certification at Pleasant? My best day is Saturday. Let me know. I have extra tanks too.
Mohave...
Hey SoCal divers,
My buddy and I are experienced divers. We've both taken some of the dive charters in LA and San Diego. We probably will do so during our stay in San Clemente but I thought we would try out some of the local beach diving just for grins.:D We'll be in San Clemente for the week of...
Sounds like you had a great rescue class. My class was INTENSE! After a briefing it was game on. My buddy and I executed dozens of rescues over two days. We even had to interrupt the final exam to rescue two panicked divers (one for each of us). I swear, every time we turned around somebody was...
Lost gear. We were snorkeling around at Spring Canyon Landing at Lake Pleasant on Wednesday. We got in just to the left of where the road ends and swam around the south end of the cove for a bit. When we stopped to take a break my youngest son informed me that he had lost a fin. It was a medium...
No idea. The picture with the news story showed a bail-out bottle and upon closer inspection the BC had two small canister like shapes that looked like the o2 and dulient bottles of a rebreather. Tech buddies and follow up news reports verified the rebreather but not the brand. I think a couple...
Sounds like the guy was diving with a rebreather. Don't know if it was a fun dive or a class or if one of the local shops were involved. Condolances to his family and his dive buddy.
First off, I want to thank Pete for laying all those lines. They are great nav aids. I have over 300 dives at Lake Pleasant; shore dives as well as boat dives, from one end of the lake to the other. In all seasons and conditions. I only mention this so folks know that I know a thing or two...
Spring Canyon Landing is east of Vista Point below the 4-lane north boat ramp. It's a pretty good spot until the weather warms up and the boaters are really active. Then you have to be out of there before the alcohol kicks in. We were there a couple of years ago and the boaters literally ran us off.
I'm baaack. And what a day to get wet for the first time in three months. Azdiver23 (Josh B) and I met at Vista Point at around 9:00am and there were a ton of divers already in the water. We ran into John Flanders and he said there were at least three classes going on with about a dozen divers...
Canyon Lake = Braille Diving. I don't know if taking a boat away from the shore would be any better. I know a few years ago some dive shops did boat dives there. If you end up on a boat and the vis is good let us know.
I've noticed a problem of late with PMs sent to multiple recipients. First of all, none of the others that I know were included in the PM appear on a list of recipients. I have verified that the sender did include all the intended recipients on the "To" field and that they weren't blind copied...
Pete. Where exactly did you get into the water? Would you recommend placing stage bottles along the way if following the line you pulled? Is the island in the center foreground of the above picture the one near Pleasant Harbor Marina? The one off the southwest most point of Vista Point? Boats...
Weight and buoyancy control were my two big bugaboos. After a couple hundred dives in a wetsuit I decided to go dry. I didn't take a class. Didn't even stay in a Holiday Inn. It was like learning to dive all over again. After the first 20 or so dives I was ready to burn my drysuit. After 30...
I doubt it. At the lake's lowest level last year (about 1650 elevation) the top of the old dam was still around 60 feet below the surface. Today the elevation is 1643. They'd have to take the lake down to below 1590. Then again it would be cool to freak out boaters by "walking" across the lake...
