Thanks for the info. I have yet to visit the Northern Channel Islands but I hear great things about them. For now, San Clemente and Los Coronado's are the closest, but we plan on driving up to San Pedro/Long Beach area to use dive charters to Catalina every now and again. I don't own a boat...

Wow .. thanks for that awesome offer and I'll definitely take you up on it! I live down in San Diego and do most of my diving along the coast although we have been to Los Coronado's and we're on a boat (Horizon) to San Clemente mid-Feb. We also take a little Panga out to the local wrecks...

Thanks for the reply. I actually posted almost a year ago about the TC24 and Molly Brown answered about the diving and answered some of my questions. I guess I'm wondering about the comparisons between TC and other manufacturers and not between the CD-22/25 and the TC24 (which is what my...

I know there has been some reference to the Glacier Bay as a competitor to the Tomcat, however these seem to be two completely different beast in their hull design. The Glacier Bay is designed to be a displacement hull while the Tom Cat is a planing hull (at least I think this is correct). One...

Here's another question (which I also posted on C-D Owners Group). How do you ensure that your boat won't go AWOL while you're diving if everyone on board is diving? Do you follow the anchor line down on your first dive and secure it, and then release it on the way up from your last dive? Or...

Brent - thanks for the information. I guess you're stronger than you thought, eh? ;) I got contacted by a C-Dory dealer yesterday and he told me that he would send me a information packet - I can't wait to get it! Roger - I've heard the PEACE is a great boat. We usually dive off the Bottom...

Brent - don't go through the trouble of weighing them, you're probably right that the weight indicated on the website is the shipping weight. Besides, the fact you are able to move both the generator and compressor around is all I really need to know as far as portability. And I guess the...

Brent - After checking out that photo of your compressor I did a search for the Maxair's. It looks like the one you have is a Maxair 35 (?) - does it really weigh 55lbs? The website stated 85lbs for the Maxair 35. Seems like a lot of weight to carry ... especially since I saw you also had a...

Cygnet - Thanks for the info. What kind of tanks are those, they look like lp72's and an al80 - how long does that compressor take to fill those tanks? I'm curious about how much faster the lp tanks are than the al80s as I'm in the process of getting some steel lp72's right now. I'd like to...

Fishtales - Congrats on your certification! My wife and I actually only got certified about two years ago but we absolutely love it! The kelp forests are just amazing and we love gliding through them ... its like a great underwater hike! I've seen the swim platform/ladder on the stern of the...

Bluecrab - Thanks for your insight. The only diving we've done off boats are on larger charters (50+ feet) and they were built to be dive boats so they're set up proper as far as space, entry and exits go. Gearing up and doing a backroll off the side of the 22' seems like it'd be no problem...

Thanks for the replies everyone! I guess I found the right place to ask my question :) Looks like a lot of you use the C-Dory 22 over the other models they have - any reasons why? One of the things that we've always talked about doing was camping out at Catalina, doing a little diving...

Hey guys - this is my very first post and I'm glad to have found this site as well as the MSN group. I don't own a C-Dory but I've lots of great things about them after looking at many other manufacturers. The fact that there is such a following/loyalty for these boats seems to attest to their...
