Nice map! You did a good job with it. I just need to print it out and go dive it. I have never done the oil dock.

Wow! Good to see the animals are coming back. I was getting disappointed, as recently I have not seen much. Great photos!

I bet this guy doesn't like Octos!

I was just wondering why the diver had his tank on the side??

Let me know if you figure it out I don't have time to download the files right now. Did you find anything else to put on your map last night?

Dave, is your map posted? I would love to see it. S'mike I was looking at your sketchup again and i remembered someone telling me that there is a trough running parellel to the beach at about 100fsw then it goes up to like 80 then down again th where the boat is and then down to the abyss. It doesn'...

wow that's looking great I like the mesh look you have to show your terrain. I hope you can render it when its done. Ill have to downlaod sketchup and try myself. I have a little bit of a dizzyness problem right now so I can't dive. But as soon as the doc. gives me the ok I would love to work on thi...

S’mike, I am glad to see someone else is interested in taking the time to create more detailed maps of some popular dive sites. Are you working on your Dive master? I looked into sketchup at one time but it looks hard to use. I was not aware you could overlay the usgs topo maps in sketchup. That’s p...

Make sure you watch out for USO's when diving Catalina there are supposed to lots of sightings there!

Technically I'm still underwater! <IMG SRC="http://usera.imagecave.com/lil_mac/y1p3yORWbOfA6-fmaBhcGBC6vY8tqKmJPCcSSfFB_VJKEqKaunp4_a-RpjMpxkON-4up3RJgdh21s4-copy.jpg"> <IMG SRC="http://usera.imagecave.com/lil_mac/y1p3yORWbOfA6-RzETi4M-ATO7cAsCsLhziT2jyNXCPwVjprLOuzvpU4S9R8ONvj55E-lLk...

Thanks again Bob! It was nice meeting you, I hope to see you in the water sometime. It was a great class, I am glad you sent us with a handout ( a lot of numbers to remember in one sitting). I definitely will plan my dives with a little more air now.

Thanks again,
Sheahan

TODD,
I have to see if I can have the suit that long, I don't think mine cam in yet. Are you diving Sat. or Sun? Or are you going to help break ice for us?

Im not sure. I am using 2004, there is a autocad 3D mapping software but it is thousands of dollars. I plan on making the final version in Bryce5 I think you can make precise measurments in CAD and then import it to bryce to render it so it looks real.

Thanks for the idea, I was thinking of a rope type measuring tape, but I thought it was a dumb idea. I like your idea. Here is a sketch i drew up in autocad for an example of what i want to do i know it's missing things, i'll ad them later.

The problem with finding the depths at specific attractions is to know where your at in the area your mapping. I just don't know.

I am not sure about what I wanted for the end result I first was looking for a way to make a really nice site map for my Dive Master but then it turned into something more. I like this idea: http://arttomedia.hdtshop.com/site/Home.aspx

Hello all, I have another question, it's about dive site mapping. First I was wondering if people could post the maps they have made so everyone can see. Also I was wondering the best method for creating your own dive site maps. I have found three ways: 1. Dive a bunch of times and hand sketch it ou...

C4-Eled is just as bright as the C8 just a narrower beam. And its a lot cheaper! I have both, and I only take the C4.

here is more info. on it:

Where's the "Copper Bell Mine" by Index? Is it open and accessible? Or way up in the hills? Reasonably safe or falling apart? Richard, You can drive right to it, off of reiter road. It seems safe, Compared to other mines I have been in around index. This one is a pain at first though. The...

I'm not sure if this topic has been brought up but i am interested if anyone has experiance with using scuba to get an extra buck. I do a lot of hiking in the summer looking for old mines and last summer I met "old man rivers" who explained to me he used to make a living by sluecing the ri...

proof that we need more artificial reefs!

Thanks for the information, I will be doing a lot of research before I buy. It was actually your videos I saw on youtube thate made me want to make my own. so thanks for posting them! It seems the housings are twice the cost of the camera (OUCH).

Thanks again for all the help.

I am looking into purchasing a camcorder to make some compilation movies. Is a standard digital camcorder good enough or do I need HD? Also is there a good program for editing the video clips? I know Calvin posted he got a new one but I havn't seen any movies yet!
