Monterey Bay Triton Meeting November 3, 2012
Hello everyone. It’s time for the last meeting of the year for the Monterey Bay Triton's. It will be on Nov. 3rd, at the Black Bear Diner on Fremont St., in Monterey. The meeting will be at 3pm. And of course, we will be diving in the morning before the meeting. I will be doing a presentation on how to build an abalone board (float board), and the many ways that they can be built, depending on your budget. And if you would like to join us for the morning dive, feel free to ask also. Everyone is welcome to come to the meeting, even if you are not a member. Bring a friend. Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Re: Monterey Bay Triton Meeting November 3, 2012
Hey Guys,
I unfortunately will not be able to attend. I have a work requirement that I must be at. Truth be told I’m on a two day trip to Channel Islands. I’m teaching some scuba classes for the dive shop I work for, I know it’s rough but such is the life of a glamorous dive instructor. However I’m sure that the VP will do an outstanding job in my place. Here’s the agenda for the meeting. 1. This is the last event in the King of the Tritons series. So will be weighing fish prior to the meeting. Remember all fish must be presented to the Weigh Master by no later than 2:30 to count. The weigh in will be at the same place as last time Black Bear Dinner Parking lot. Also remember that due to less than great diving at two of our previous events the prize board is still very open. If you show up on Saturday and shoot a good stringer you just might end up with some great prizes. 2. After the meeting begins at 3:00 the prizes will be awarded for the KOT. 3. Bryan and Bob will be giving a talk about dive boards. As many of you already know Bryan is the king of building your own dive board. He build several custom boards and will be showing some of him work and teaching you how to build your own or upgrade what you have. You don’t want to miss this. Even if you have a kayak there are times when you still want you use a board and having a good one really makes that kind of diving a lot easier. As always be safe and take care, Robert __________________

Re: Monterey Bay Triton Meeting November 3, 2012
A great part of what I will present at the meeting will also be applicable to modifications that can be done on kayaks also. If you would like to do modifications to your kayak, but are just not sure on what to do...or how to do them, I can show you how and what you can and cannot do. Or I can at least simplify the process.

Re: Monterey Bay Triton Meeting November 3, 2012
Hey broskiis, quick question. i know the water temp is probably the warmest it will be all year, BUT with the outside temp, will my normal wetsuit (3-4-5) be warm enough?
do you all dive in the same suits this time of year? |

We all pretty much wear 5mm to 7mm freedive suits (not scuba/surf suits) all year long. 7mm is worn for those guys who get cold a little easier and those who dive up in NorCal, where the water can tend to be a bit colder more often.

There's a lot of good suits on the market, the important thing is to find the one that's in your price range, and that fits you nicely. These Sporasub suits just went on sale, I'm probably gonna order one pretty soon(http://www.sporasubamerica.com/spora...tic-p-128.html). Check out the size chart and see if it works, if not, you can mix top and bottom sizes to get the right fit. This is a good suit and it's at a really good price right now so I thought I'd share it with you, but you could always call the Freedive Shop in Sacramento and see what they have. I'm sure they'd be happy to help you find a suit. http://www.freediveshop.com/index.php 1-(877)-938-7848

Re: Monterey Bay Triton Meeting November 3, 2012
$250 for this suit in a 7mm is a seriously good deal. You could mix 5mm pants, with a 7mm Top, but I don't see why you would. What do you mean by overlap?
