Scuba Diving in San Deigo?
 

Hey everyone,

I'm staying out in SD for a couple more days and try to do a couple day/night dives. Is anyone certified and would like to go with? I have a non-industry person going with me so far. Would be fun to get a fun group going :)

i before e except after c ;)

eh? What did I mispell?

nice...it's gonna b alot of fun... don't forget the pics

San Diego. ;-)

What day are you leaving?

Feh. Oh well. I always screw that up.

Well...gonna try and Dive on the 17th and 18th

I'll go snorkling you in a bathtub...you can't get bitten by sharks in the bathtub.

Let me know if you get bored and want someone to get drunk with.

That sounds like a blast! Doesnt that area, or for that matter all of the california coast line have a sea lion population? I would enjoy diving with them very much. :thumbsup

la jolla is prob the only place i'd do that. clean.

Yeah, thats where we'll be going.

Theres a couple shipwrecks out there that are supposed to be real fun. My friend also wants to go night diving, which I havent done yet. I'm going to freak out when I cant see where i'm swimming...

misspell

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Why yes we do. They're all over the place.

Red please allow me to respond for you.


BITE ME! :moon

Wow thats something that would stay with me till I die.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

They are giant water rats. :mad:

Night Diving: It's not bad at all. I thought it would scare the hell out of me but I actually ended up enjoying it. You see some cool things you'll never see in the daytime.

I'm Naui Advanced Certified. But, unfortunately I'll be in Las Vegas for my mother's wedding. Yay. What fun. :(

How long will you be in Vegas for? You can always go dive in Lake Mead and check out mutated fish :)

scubba rocks, wish I knew how

I wish I was certified.. I will be there all week long

Just as a heads up...about 3-400 yards off the beach, at about the 50/60' depth, you'll encounter the "Rose Canyon Fault" drop off. I've sat there many times and watched the whales meander by.

Oh my God... how cool would THAT be? Amazing!

I don't particularly like lake diving, although I've never tried Lake Mead. I take it you've tried it out? Was it as dull and boring as most lakes?

Hi Zoe,

I'm a diver, but there are two problems....:-(

1. I'm leaving the afternoon of the 16th
2. That water is REALLY FREAKING COLD! (like 61 degrees) I'm saying you will need a 7mil full suit with hood or even a dry suit. Plus the visibility is pretty sucky this time of year, like 10 feet max (as I remember from living out there years ago)

(I'd still probably go for it if I was staying out there.... I'm a sucker for diving :winkwink: .....and the drop off is awesome :thumbsup )

I'll go muff diving with you Zoe.

I won't be in SanDiego this year, but will be taking some people diving in Florida both at the Redneck Getaway and Internext... If your interested...:pimp

That sounds good too, just keep me informed :)

Sounds like fun, wish I was going to be there.

I guide night dives every Friday and Saturday at my friend's dive resort here in the Philippines. Good stuff! (I'm a PADI Divemaster).

Enjoy!

I know the water is going to be cold, that what wetsuits are for! I can handle the cold, yargh!

Seriously though, if we dont go during San Diego, I remember you telling me about diving in Florida sometme :)

Right click, save as.

Zoe
have you been out to the channel islands yet, off LA.
really great diving out there

im scared just thinking about it

Head up to oceanside.. awesome diving there..

Lake Mead sucks, thats where I learned to dive. Our diving class did our dives in Lake Mead.
I have dived off the channel islands, did a shark dive in florida and dove in the islands. so far, the turks and Caios islands have been the best dives.

here are some pics from the Turks and Caios Islands

The Marine room is a nice easy dive

and a small sand shark we tried to catch

We can definitely dive in Florida. The ocean temp out here is now 80 and it will be 84 by august.... So you don't need any suit at all. :-)
(and I don't think that the shortie you are wearing in that pic is going to be enough in San Diego!)

I'm all for diving before internext off of lighthouse point or after internext in the keys.
:thumbsup

Oh yeah, it does suck.

Lake Mead has green murky water

Your photos are awesome though, I really need to check out some more dive areas. Catalina Island is real fun too :)
