I'm obviously one of those "several lawyers," although I'm recovering (just like being an alcoholic or a diver, you can stop doing it, but you can never stop...
A least I recognized ya'all were kidding about the Starbuck's... ... No, absolutely serious, you didn't hear? There's no cruise ship dock yet, but it'll be...
Hi all, I found a folding chair Saturday night at Breakwater. If you lost it, email me off-list and describe it to me. I'll find a way to get it to you. ...
Ok, a bit off topic, but I figure most of you would appreciate this, and some of you may remmeber it. A few years back one of the San Francisco radio stations...
Off this topic... For all those involved, today is opening day for abalone season. Please be safe if you plan on going North this weekend. The weather reports...
Sami: Since you would like to (perhaps) fill in the details later (no obligation), I would, at least, like to take this time to compliment you on this report. ...

It's strange the way divers react to this sort of thing. There are now at least 3 of us locally who've taken a minor pain hit like this after a big (by...
Question 1:Trying to decide if I should go wet or dry.....It's time to buy a new wetsuit but am wondering if I should venture into the world of drysuits. Is it...
... No, I don't recommand it ! Besides the crushing effects on some sensible parts of the human body, the buyoant properties of a dry suit make it unpractical...
I beg to disagree. I've been free-diving in my shell drysuit for 2+ years w/ no problems. I routinely dive to 20-25 feet for abalone. Yes, it compresses at ...
Lisa, I recently switched to drysuit diving. The biggest benefit I get from using a drysuit is not during the dive but between and after. It's just great being...
Actually I witnessed a close call. The guy was a good freediver and also a scuba diver. From a boat he kicked down without bothering to put bc and tank to...
I actually use less lead w/ my undergarment and shell suit(DUI) than I used to wear w/ my Monterey Bay neoprene(not compressed) dry suit. I do, however, ...
... I agree on that. ... My next may be a 7mm :-) A good freedive suit is almost a dry suit as it "glues" to the skin. ... It probably works for a relatively...
Why wouldn't dropping the belt work for a shell? A free diver with a dropped weightbelt and a massively flooded shell suit would be close to neutral. Remember...
Marcos: I too have witnessed people freediving in drysuits. Real drysuits w/ valves and everything. But they were only abalone diving. There is always a way to...

Ken, Good for you to put on protection before getting into water. Of course, I assume you are familiar with the recent Monterey City decision to ban any diver...
Ian: The idea of talking about & trying to properly deal w/ these hits or worse is important. Bubbles are invisible. Dealing w/ them involves theories. You ...

What we need is more funding to those bio companies at San Mateo and Menlo park. I know at least 2 companies are close to trail of in vivo blood sensor (target...
I ll just add that any deep freedive should be done with the proper gear and training. It kills quite a number of people each year. Another point : sadly a...
Went to Lobos as I suggested yesterday (mine was the post WITHOUT any corny April Fools joke). We arrived at 9:30 at the gate and were the 7th Dive Team. I...
Sorry, I still disagree. See Chuck's post earlier. And, fwiw, I've been drysuit diving for close to 30 years, now, and I've never had more than ~ a quart of...
Regarding the post by Victor Taus advising us to be wise about possible harsh conditions for the ab opener, here is a post (edited for brevity) from another...

Good job in getting our message out Tim. With the lack of rain this winter, I can hardly wait for this coming season of firediving. Not that I'm in favor of...
