Left rubber mat at Redondo

I went diving Thursday night and accidently forgot to load up my husband's mat he puts on the ground behind our Denali. I was parked in the parallel spots next to the paid parking..if anyone happened to pick it up, please let me know! I really don't want to have to go buy another one! :)

Re: Distressed diver pulled from Edmonds U.P

there was also an 'accident' at Redondo this morning. A guy was walking up the stairs after the dive and dropped from a heart attack. Not sure if he made it or not...we got there after they took him away, but the police were still there getting his van. Not a good way to start the new year!!!

Re: Your Favorite Maui Dives

If they are up for a night dive..do Black Rock at Ka'anapali Beach. Start on the North side and work your way around to the South side...the animal life there is amazing and very fun to watch. The greatest depth is 40'. We did this dive twice, once during the day and once at night. Forego Molokini c...

Re: Dylan & Matthew go to the Aquarium!!

My 8 year old just did her first Bubblemakers dive with TLSea this past week. She used an x-small BCD and a small tank. She stayed in the shallow end of the pool and didn't do any 'skills'..that is reserved for Seal teams. She absolutely loved it. And yes, you have to be 8 to start..she was bugging ...
