Hey Rich... I got your message on here but I’m yet to be approved so I couldn’t reply to it. Planning on going to do some warm water diving in Hawaii on the 10th but I may skip it to join your group. As soon as I can reply to your message, I’ll send you my email to put on your list.
Heading out to Anacapa tomorrow for my final certification dives (Did I mention I was a novice? I really meant it!).
As for equipment... I’ll post a couple of questions on the equipment page. Kinda off topic on here, I think, since I have a couple specific question as to where to rent.
