Greetings from California!

Hello! I am getting back into the hobby, and plan to do a lot of diving near Monterey & the Channel Islands soon, as well as local water near Sacramento.

Once I get comfortable in the water again, I plan to do photography with my R5 & Marelux housing, so I'll probably be frequenting the marketplace for used gear haha!

Looking forward to connecting with the community, and meet dive buddies to adventure with!

Cozumel Officials Clarify Customs Treatment of Dive Computers and Underwater Camera Housings

RichN · Monday at 08:32 PM5 days

Over 50 and still diving? (Go on, admit it....)
Over 50 and still diving? (Go on, admit it....)
TimG · October 31, 2025Oct 31

On a recent dive trip I met someone who is writing a dissertation on people who are 50+ and diving. If you are interested in contributing, the following is a link to a simple questionnaire which takes about 5 minutes to complete. I've become paranoid about online scams, phishing etc. But this looks fine and I know the author - and the information gathered is pretty innocuous. https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=e3VPRDDLUkaTvMqNbR74E5Cna1DJ6d1KvM2oRz5_gAdUM0Y3UEpYTkZERDJON
