On March 1, 2023 Dr. Joe Dituri left the surface and descended to the Jules Undersea Lodge for a record breaking 100-day mission. In fact, as this show is going on, Joe is still under water, completing his last few days until mission completion. Come see what planning was involved, how Joe spends his time, and who else is involved in this incredible effort. Learn more about MarineLab Environmental Education Center, and the variety of youth STEM education courses they offer. Programs are also open to adults… learn how you can spend the night under water, becoming a recognized Aquanaut!

The Monterey California area is a world-class dive destination. Come, become an honorary member of a school of blue rockfish illuminated by sun rays streaming through the kelp forest canopy. Join the cool kids when a flock of cormorants nibble on your camera and dive equipment at 50 ft. If you have never had a ridiculously cute baby harbor seal nibble on your fins, you haven’t lived. Boost your culture points by witnessing a score of California sea lions perform what appears to be an underwater ballet. Check off a few of the brilliantly colored local nudibranchs from your bucket list. Swim through enchanting jellyfish as thick as soup. Dive with charming, captivating, and cute sea otters. Swim among 3-foot-tall sea anemones. Hang out with charismatic wolf eels. Buck up and and earn the cold-water diving merit badge.

Whether you’re interested in capturing marine life with a camera or simply observing, there is no substitute for being physically close. From tiny gobies to massive whales, many animals are inherently shy, making close interaction difficult. When approached properly, however, most sea creatures are surprisingly tolerant of divers. This seminar will teach you techniques that can turn fleeting glimpses into relaxed, intimate encounters. You’ll learn how to approach shy animals, gain their trust, and get close without scaring them away, making every dive a more enjoyable and rewarding experience.

The Pacific Offshore Oil Platforms support a marine ecosystem more productive than any coral reef. Bob Evans logged >850 dives photo-documenting beneath these platforms. He also administered projects developing technologies and pioneering alternative uses – revolutionary at the time, transformative today. Join him on a photographic journey through the history of these beautiful and unique marine habitats. He will share a vision for the future, founded on technologies proven and piloting today. These alternatives transcend removal or reefing. They include sustainable development within a new offshore paradigm supporting the environment, coastal communities, fisheries, and divers too!

Los Angeles County is in the Southern California Bight which offers a rich and diverse marine environment for SCUBA & Freediving. The best diving spots are often in areas with high turbulence potential with different turbulence profiles for each season.
This seminar will discuss how to identify and forecast favorable weather, tide, surf and tidal flow turbulence patterns for popular dive sites in Los Angeles County, utilizing current NOAA and CDIP forecasting tools. Concepts can be applied to other diving locales around the world. Recent updates to NOAA and CDIP tools will be covered as well as opportunities for ocean conditions forecasting and acclimation training applying these concepts. Selected recent weather events will be covered to illustrate concepts presented.
Since unfavorable turbulence patterns and tidal flows are key factors in poor visibility, also covered will be the forecast of the 2023 summer and fall turbulence patterns for the Southern California Bight.

Water freezes at 32oF, right? Not here! Dive into water that is 28oF… dive into Antarctica! Explore with us as we learn about fish that have antifreeze in their blood to keep them from freezing solid. Descend in holes through 23 feet of solid ice as we study life on Mars. Visit remote islands where you’ll see over 250,000 penguins with a single glance. Reach out to icebergs as they bob up and down in the waves, and wander through shipwrecks frozen in ice and time. Learn about the most remote continent on Earth… Antarctica!

We have spent the past three years during Covid researching, discovering, identifying, and documenting new, never-seen-before wrecks here in Southern California. To date, we have documented over a dozen new wrecks that include both shipwrecks and historical airplane wrecks. In addition, we have been using modern technology (photogrammetry) to document the more well-known wrecks.
This presentation will describe how we find the new wrecks and use photography and photogrammetry to help identify the wreck once it is discovered. I will present at least 5 new wrecks that we have discovered.

You’ve bought all of the best equipment. You’re ready to go with maximum safety. But are you really? Forty-one percent of fatalities on a DAN research study listed “Out of Air” as a cause. Certainly those divers ‘knew better’ and prepared properly… right? Learn what you can do to maximize your real safety by diving into real cases and tried and true tips from the aviation industry’s extensive history with human factors. Explore why humans are so error-prone and find out why accidents really happen. Then you can explore the ocean with the knowledge and confidence to help you avoid being ‘that story’.

Many avid SCUBA divers would love to turn their passion into a career. Commercial diving is a great career choice that can lead to adventure, fun, and sometimes heartbreak. In this factual presentation, by real working commercial divers, we dispel many commercial diving myths, tell you what type of schooling and training you need, what jobs you could do underwater, what to expect after graduating dive school, and give you a roadmap to success in the commercial diving business. We will also go over the dangers of doing work as a commercial diver using actual case studies, pictures, and videos.
