Re: Car-sized ball of squid eggs

The one in Cove 2 (that I remember) was back in 2004 - it was in about 45ft or so, near-ish to the can buoy mooring block. And it was huge. I'll never forget seeing it because the mating frenzy was going on as I was doing a descent with my team and instructor during a diving course. I remember turni...

Re: San Diego diving...

PS: Oil Rig dives are up north and those boat take out of LA. Fun diving for sure but will mean a bit of a drive.

PPS: Traffic in San Diego is NOTHING compared to Seattle. Especially during AM boat calls on a weekend. :)

Have fun!

Re: San Diego diving...

Hi, Waterhorse Charters is a solid and reliable boat, and they run just about every weekend. Reasonable rates, full meal provided in between dives, and they have a clean safety record. There are a couple of smaller charter ops around, if you'd like info on those just ask. :) There is some nice shore...

Re: Keystone confuses me

IIRC, Keystone wasn't in all of the Fischnaller editions, but then again, I haven't looked at other editions than what I own in a very long time. What I do know is that typically it seems like I've had to plan 30 minutes earlier than what even Fischnaller would say to make the dive work, and I have ...

It would be uber helpful if travel aligned with school calendar dates - not a must given my position at this point in ti...

Re: Going to the Maldives.... Suggestions please!

I only know of live-aboards, the Carpe Diem and the Carpe Vita. Both are outstanding vessels.

In terms of day diving almost every resort partners with a dive facility that has the ability to do day boat diving.

Enjoy, it is beautiful!

Awesome write up, Jeremy, and thanks for sharing. Kudos on ticking off a healthy chunk of Fischnaller awesomeness. Looked to be the perfect weekend for it between topside sunshine and current predictions.

Awesome post Bob.

Thanks for the video shout out! The bomber is one of my favorite dives. I think Richard is right in that Ben and/or Andrew G originally put in the line quite some time ago. IIRC they dropped in from a boat and then took a heading to shore and ran it in. Over time it's been snagged and pulled goodnes...

He opened my eyes and taught me to appreciate the tiniest of creatures in the water, among many thin...

Re: Need a womans perspective

I will +1 to Lynne's comment about the continuous webbing and backplate setup. It is a winner in terms of flexibility and comfort regardless of your build. Don't judge it until you put one on! If you are shorter, a shorter plate might also be a consideration for you. Also +1 about masks being a very...
