[Jared9191]

Thanks for the reply but I'm working all day on the weekends..

I actually don't mind, I like the smaller crowds during the week

[cheezwedge]

Where do you guys go hunting at? Im in Costa Mesa sometimes and I usually go down to Laguna.

[mateusz h2o]

same here either laguna or cdm

[aesthetic]

whats up everyone.. thinking about a trip or two before it starts getting really cold out there.. just throwing it out there

[sciencemike]

Im taking a beginner out tomorrow am to see if i can get him a halibut or two. But next week ill be back living @ huntington beach so i can go out every morning if anyone wants to join me.

Hey what's the water temp in that area at the moment?

[sciencemike]

Yesterday off the shores of laguna it was 68.4 degrees on the surface and 64 degrees as you pass the thermocline @ 32 feet deep.

wow i have been mia from this site for a long time and wanted to know if there is anyone out there that still dives around laguna and cdm. i have been getting an urge to go out and dive recently but need to buy a suit first. let me know if you know of anywhere that makes custom suits. im 6'5 and 175lbs. so its hard to find a suit that fits. anyways im glad to be back and im trianing my hold time again. so if you want to go out soon let me know i might be in the area.

I get my suits at JMJ.

If Bill puts his name behind it you have to know its top notch goods.

I have never tried his maker of suits, so i went the budget variety and have a Spiros made Diveskin suit. 220$ and its held up for a year of shore diving and is still in perfect shape.

I bought my "little" brother a diveskin custom suit last year because he is also 65 and 250lbs and it fits him like a glove.

PS... if you want to dive soon we should be heading out this weekend a lot seeing as its full moon and the conditions are gonna be sunny and calm. Send me a pm.

there you go Mates......another satisfied customer from Spiros. I'll send you the pics tonight when I get a chance. Gonna head out this weekend and Mike is right when he says conditions should be good with the high tides and moon activity. Shoud be almost identical conditions as the last Cabezon I sent you. Usually these conditions are good for finding butts, shallow sandies, and cabbies (in the right spots of course). Let me know when you are geared up. Aloha a hui hou

Oh yeah......ScienceMike, beautiful butt you landed @ the Cove several weeks back........way to go!!!

you know what guys if conditions are going to be this good im down to do a shore dive off of laguna or something and ill just wear what i have and have to deal with the temp. i also heard from some people that the air temp is gonna be some where in the range of 80's? so i think im gonna take it easy this weekend with the partying and go diving on sunday. what is a good time to go out. keep in mind ill be driving from pomona (school) and ill have to stop by my parents place in costa mesa to grab all my gear. let me know and im down for a dive sunday.

[kanakafari]

Mates.......I get up at 6am to be in the water by 7am when the sun comes up. One good thing about getting up early is that it gives me the opportunity to check conditions at the Cove before the parking guys get there and you can usually run into some early morning creatures that you sometimes might not find in the daytime. Why don't you eliminate the rush for time by picking up your stuff before the weekend? That way when the weekend comes, you are good to go. Pomona to Costa Mesa shouldn't take more than an hour out of the day each way. Either way, let me know how it goes.

have any of you guys heard of a brand named Marea and the quality of their suits? i would want a suit along these lines.

Marea Made To Measure - Birol Altinel - Turkey 2007

knee, elbow, and chest pads but they are lagging on giving me a quote.

i know oceanos can give me a suit like that one for around $200 i was on their site earlier and i found the one i want in their pics but i couldnt find where to select green abstract camo instead of blue abstract camo.
