Congratulations on your relocation. You're headin torwards my old stomping ground. (I hope you're prepared for the housing prices in the San Jose area....)Creed wrote:Looks like I'll soon have Kansas in my rear view mirror. The company I work for is moving me out to the San Jose, CA, area early this summer. No Sand Dog this year(which sucks), but I've got a co-worker who is a dive instructor and he's chomping at the bit to get me out in Monterey Bay. Whatever will I do without my crappy Kansas lake diving? /sarcasm
Now there is a whole separate conversation. Luckily, I'm getting a cost of living adjustment, with another one next March, so I should be OK. Going to rent at first, up in the San Ramon area for the schools.(I hope you're prepared for the housing prices in the San Jose area....)
Thanks for the link! I'll check it out.A great reference in the area is the publication "California Diving News", it covers both Northern and Southern CA sites and has listings for local clubs and major events in the region
I'll throw some dogs on the grill if you do!Road trip to see Creed!!!!!
Thanks, James! If you ever feel like road tripping to the other coast, you will always have a dive buddy thereNemrod wrote:Congrats and good luck in the Golden State, expecting to see pics and stories.

While living in San Jose I would suggest that you take the opportunity to visit the local museum and the Stan Shelly Vintage Diving collection. Stan was a dear friend, a pioneer CenCal diver/shop owner, early NAUI instructor (# around 200)and was very active in the effort to have the red & white design adapted as the official flag of recreational diving.
It is indeed a different diving world in Kalifornia- big surf, kelp,cold water, but year round diving - no snow, sleet or freezing rain.
It is where it all began and on occasion you will bump into those who were there when it began...You're notin Kans Ass any more!
