Arrived at Breakwater to find Carol standing in the lot. She said that they were ready to go, but would wait if I wanted to tag along. So, a quick prep and...
Hi Ken, I tried not to ask too much from the weather. It works better to enjoy what you get than plan big and then not being able to get there. Saturday was a...
I understand that they're widely used in the south pacific on high-current reefs. It sounds like better practice than groups of divers clutching at the corals...
Hi! If you lost a Cetacea retainer at the Breakwater on Saturday, let me know, I have it. Looks like one of those that in the carton would say "holds securely...
Most reef damage is actually done by the heavy chain you need if you are anchoring a boat. Using a float is what makes all the difference. It is also more...
During one of my dives Saturday I spotted something which I can't explain. On top of a air-filled plastic bottle being used as a marker float, which is...

That's a similar conundrum to something I saw in Utila. Perched precariously on the top edge of a giant vase sponge was a very large hermit crab in a massive...
After a brief discussion with my buddy, one possibility seems the star, while still on the bottom was attached firmly to the substrate below with some of its...
This was one of those dives that I can only describe as "Pure Joy." It wasn't deep, it wasn't even rough and the viz clear. Effortlessly gliding thru water,...
... Seems reasonably plausible - while the bottom there is sand, the object the bottle is marking would provide something for the star to hold on to. Still,...
... Effortlessly ... Given all the krill I was expecting someone to do an impression of a whale shark (or baleen whale) ;-) Looks like fun. Guy Alcala...
If what Doc saw was the same as what we saw the same day at the same area (Lobos), it wasn't krill. Krill is a specific shrimp. These were tiny fish fry. ...
I was thinking the same thing, they looked too big to be "Krill". There were reports of lots of krill at the outer bay sites on all dives saturday as well. ...
Maybe this has been discussed before, but I continue to wonder why there isn't a permanent mooring at all the most popular sites, especially the more dramatic...
Here in Hawaii, we do have permanent moorings, however we also have the visibility to find the moorings. Our moorings are 10-15', with surface visibility of...
Probably mysid shrimp of some kind. I saw one or two schools of small fish but they were massively outnumbered by huge clouds of mysids. The mysids were...
Actually, krill are a cm or two, which is a good deal bigger than the fish fry I saw which were about a half cm. I've seen schools of krill off Pt. Pinos when...
And, at least on the lee side of the islands, you don't have the big winter storms we have. What Tim is alluding to is that, in the tropics, the mooring buoys...
Hi everybody, Slightly off-topic, but I though some people here would know about air quality in Monterey. I've been thinking of bringing my wife and 1 year old...
I was there yesterday diving in Monterey in the afternoon. I didn't smell any smoke. The wind picked up a bit for our first dive and then died down on our...

Hi All! This is off topic for you BA-Diving members, but it's critical to creating more dive sites for you to enjoy. CS2R needs to create a short (perhaps...
