    Thank you for the great post! A California sport fishing license with salt water endorsement and lobster card is a total of about $71.00.

    Great call out! Probably tack on a bit more actually since you have to buy another fishing license starting the new year.

    @@divespeareat Very good point, but starting the first of the year (correct me if I am wrong) Sport Fishing Lic's are supposed to be for a year from date of purchase. On another note, I can only imagine where all of the $ from Hunting and Fishing Lic's go, do the math, it is a huge chunk of $, and I dont see it going back into Hunting and/or Fishing.

    @@rvierra7235 Unfortunately the fishing license is only valid for the calendar year. So everyone has to buy a new one in calendar year 2023. Info is in the FAQ section: wildlife.ca.gov/Licensing/Fishing#445181407-sport-fishing-license-questions

    I’d like to add dive knife should always be on the list too because of them fishing line. You may almost put a button lamp inside the float so buddy can see you. they are 9.99 for 6 of them water 9 feet resistant. Very small head lamp is also handy in case you see the KING using both hands.

    Forsure! Great calls there. Good idea with putting a light on or inside of a translucent float. I found using a head-mounted light is not that great. The light seems to refract off the particles near your face making the light more of a distraction. Appreciate the input. Dive Safe!

    I know focus is very important not to bring a speargun. A float line tied to something heavy like another flash can mark the infested cave is found. Damn i shouldn’t say too much or them lobster will be gone soon ;)

    Hi there! I have heard about these cases of Barodontalgia (aka tooth squeeze) from fellow divers. I am no medical professional but this may help: www.emedicinehealth.com/wilderness_tooth_squeeze/symptom.htm

    Your issue is not odd, not an everyday thing, but does happen. I am sorry, i dont know what is done to correct this, call a dentist that dives. I think NAUI and PFI may have contact for medical professionals who tend to divers. I have never heard of this ending someone's diving career though, so hang in there 👍

Because this is only something that happened once on my last dive and I'm wondering if I should make an appointment with a dentist or just stop diving for that session whenever it happens.

    @@lognag Sorry, I dont know the answer to that. BUT...there is a lot riding on a dive session, most importantly, your health and safety. And, what if you hop a day or overnight boat, you spend all of that $ for a dive trip and you are sidelined due to the tooth pain. Were I in your fins, I would seek dental help/advice from a dentist/oral surgeon asap.
