What might cause my scuba regulator to wheeze when getting low on air?
I have a brand new stadium, first and second ocean. I have equipment on two dives so far and both times to end the dive, I heard a wheezing sound casual as I inhaled. Can not say if it was reg first or second stage, or pipe itself. Anyone have this issue before or know what it means? Thank you for any help.
I'm with DMG – if you do not have your reg service must be assured, take-your-inch primary regulator should never "wheezing" or "honk." It is almost certainly the second stage. I recently learned that it is not unusual for regulators to ship factory * not * set correctly at the factory specs. I scuba gear (that actually built by APEKS) and when he returned from his annual service at first I had to learn to manage it all over again, because it seemed he wanted to free-flow. Turns out, my reg has not been right to start with (not bad out of spec, but the difference is noticeable).
San Diego Sights for Scuba Divers Eyes'
At the southernmost tip of the USA is the beautiful San Diego, California – my hometown and a playground for all water sports from skiing, sailing and surfing to fishing and scuba diving.
As a diver, you will find a large selection of marine life in Wreck Alley, in the forests of kelp and other mass in the underwater park in La Jolla.
The park combines La Jolla Canyon and Scripps Submarine Canyon, an underwater treasure of marine life including some of the more bizarre creatures among us.
The valley of this huge canyon system is about 1600 feet below. Its walls steep place into two branches just made for convenient access to scuba diving is the beach of La Jolla Cove or La Jolla Shores.
Next to La Jolla Shores, you can start at the foot of Valicitos Street and swim to the buoys that mark the upper canyon reaches. It is better to be clever enough to swim in the surf. Alternatively, take a charter dive boat from Mission Bay.
When you come down to about 30 feet, you'll be on the verge Scripps Canyon and its peak, the narrow walls that plunge ever deeper into the abyss. Be very careful because the dropoff is almost upright on a few points, often involving overhanging walls.
Visibility is good but variable due to upwelling and occasional strong currents. Winter water temperatures in the 50s, summer water rises in the high 60s and sometimes not very 70s.
Scuba divers and scientists have made the Scripps La Jolla Canyons and one of the most studied environments submarine in the world. You can see the prestigious Scripps Institution of Oceanography and thrown from any point along the coast of La Jolla. Valley Fan of La Jolla Canyon was the site of the first global drilling deep ocean, where core samples were taken from thousands of meters beneath the seabed in 1961.
15 minutes south of La Jolla is Wreck Alley, about a mile off Mission Beach. Here you can explore artificial reefs created by eight sunken ships and a couple of unlikely structures that came from both accident and intent.
The latest addition is the 366-foot Canadian destroyer Yukon, which was deliberately sunk here approximately 100 feet of water during the year 2000. The Yukon still has years to go before it can compete with its older companions as a showpiece of densely populated cover.
The Ruby E, a 170-foot Coast Guard cutter based in about 70 feet of water, was covered with bows the stern with vibrant colors Corynactis Californica anemones only a few years ago. But being one of the finest performances for the eyes of divers has brought so much traffic diving although some of life has disappeared. Yet you can still drift into the wheelhouse and be absolutely dazzled by thick growths in a stunning array of colors. Be sure to bring a light.
Then there is the cut kelp Del Rey and several wrecks smaller, all with much more growth than others because of lighter traffic diving.
Now, if you want to feel as if you were on an underwater highway, do not forget to visit the Ingraham Street bridge about 60 feet deep. It was demolished and deposited here in the years 50 or 60 to make way for a new bridge in Mission Bay Aquatic Park. Now, with some 50 years of insurance, it became more like a natural reef with abundant growths of kelp, fans and algae, large colonies of filter feeders and all marine life that comes to snacking.
Finally, there NOSC Tower with a wave of 20 feet that has dealt a fatal blow to the darkness of a winter night in 1988. For three decades the NOSC Tower had served research platform off Mission Beach for the Naval Electronics Laboratory and the Naval Ocean Systems Center. Now it is a tangle of steel covered anemones, mussels and star of diving into a fabulous world of amazing colors. Bring a light to the show and a sharp knife for the fishing line and rope that you're likely to find.
Bring your camera, of course, for a dive photography tall. Average visibility of 15-25 feet and the way, hunting is not needed here.
You can reach this place a lot of diving on these boats Bay mission statement as Blue Escape (619-223-3483), Dive Connection (619-523-9282) and DiveQuest (800-303-3483).
