Hey all. Been diving since 2004 mostly in the PNW. Looking for local buddies, ideally tech ccr/photogs in the south sound, but I'm not picky. PM me if interested!

Howdy! Welcome to the board.

We have a bunch of photogs that hit the south south (Redondo or Three Tree) every Thursday night. Come join us, it is a lot of fun! Look for the "ThThTh" dives in the planning section.

We have a couple of rebreather divers in that crew, but we usually don't do huge profiles, as we keep the dives <=90 mins.

I'm keen on doing some long shallower rebreather photography dives sometime, if you're interested. I usually don't go deeper than 90'. I've been known to do 3.5 hour photography dives at keystone! :)

Welcome to the board! As Eric said, there are plenty of photogs around here and several rebreather divers in the area as well, many of whom are tech divers.

Happy diving!
Come to the nerd side, we have pi!

Will do. I'm 10 minutes from Redondo and 20 from Three Tree and have dived each around 500 times (sad, but true).

Agree about depth. The vast majority of my photos are shot between 30-80 fsw. Life tapers off considerably below that. 3.5 hours would give me an excuse to buy that heater system I've been eyeing. =)

Thanks! I haven't done much shooting in the last couple years and instead have been focusing on the tech stuff. I finished cave last month and MOD3 yesterday, so my plan is to get back into photography for the rest of the year.

We're planning to dive with the Thursday group this week, and maybe I'll see you up there. Two of my buddies, Kenny and Christian, have dived with the group a couple times, I think.
