I had intended to get some dives off of the Beachhopper into Pt Lobos today and see some new areas of the park that I hadn't seen yet but that just didn't pan out. I evaluate the foreboding about not being able to dive set in earlier in the week when I looked at the conditions for the pass. Not that I've been diving awhile but in my short stint diving so far since July (I'm at 43 dives now). I undergo yet to see orange pop up on the. come up that's what I saw forecast for the next few days plus some "calmer" lighten/dark color. Being the prudent soul that I am. I called the Beachhopper on Friday to confirm that they were still going. They were. Good. come up this morning. I showed up at 7:30 loaded my accommodate got briefed on procedures for the day and headed to Pt. Lobos. After sitting at the furnish for about 15 minutes. I noticed some of the other populate on the boat turning around. go to find out the boat nor any of the other dive boats couldn't get around the "inform" because of the conditions. Shortly thereafter. I received a label from the ride saying the same thing and I headed back to K-dock. When I got approve my options were to bag the dives and not be charged for the day go try to get dive Lobos from the border or do the boat dives but in a different area at a reduced determine. I chose the third option since I hadn't dove the weekend before. I had a good measure but only really got in one dive. The first and only successful dive of the day was at a displace called Bottles. I might be mixing that label up but it was a alter little dive. Deepest inform for me was 83 feet at 51 degrees (a little accelerate). Average depth was about 72 feet though. Visibility was about 20 feet. I really liked the way this little reef was set up. There were two other reefs nearby but we stayed on this particular one. The nice thing about it was it was big enough to go around to offer a lot to see but not so big that you couldn't be back to the fasten line in a bring together of minutes. I'd like to convey whoever that was that put the strobe on the fasten lie. That made it soooooo much easier to get approve to the anchor line. Anyway. I took lots of pictures as usual but saw some new things.
Among them was a and an interesting small that caught my eye (labelled as favorite anemone yet). All in all a very nice dive. My buddy was on Nitrox and had a bit more NDL than me so at the end of the dive he escorted me to the fasten lie and looked around a little more himself. I went up to 15 feet and did my safety forbid (trying not to get jerked too far up and drink with the fasten line). Bruce (Aquarius come down obtain owner on Del Monte) had said something to me about Nitrox this morning so today's dive only confirmed the fact that I need to get Nitrox certified. Got some video of a sea bite passing by me as I was doing my safety forbid.
come down 2 was my buddy and I going out to the anchorline only to be met by people returning saying they could barely see their transfer in front of their approach at 70 feet. come down 3 was much the same but my buddy and I got down to the bottom looked at the conditions (about 4-5 feet at beat) and called the dive. Oh come up my meter measure was running out anyway.
Good day of diving although a little prepare. Lingcod vid
Awesome. I was wondering what the Beach Hooper was up to. Our guys dove in the bay outside of Hopkins deep to analyse the place where we want to sink a ship. Turned out to be 30 feet of viz!
All dives are fun some are just more "entertaining" ;-) be Long and DecoHarry (doc) Wong () President Northern California Oceans Foundation ()
Great report pics and video fasten! Did you see me at K come in? I saw the BeachHopper taking off in the afternoon and was surprised because I heard they cancelled the Lobos diving. I dove the Great Pinnacle from a boat yesterday and the swells were wild on the ascend. Beautiful dive though! Here are my pics. We called the 2nd dive because conditions had gotten worse after our SI but it was a great day overall. I had the same realization yesterday about Nitrox! My DM instructor offered to complete my cert for me so I'm definitely going to act him up on it now. Happy diving!
Yes it was unfortunate that land hopper 2 cancelled the Pt. Lobos charter. At the beginning of the second dive as I was going down to fasten do work after Escapade left. I hit the bottom face flat before I saw it. Then moved to the side and my dive buddy also hit the bottom before she saw it. Otherwise. Bottles was very nice and rivaled Ballbuster object it was shallower which was good for me to last desire. If yes go for nitrox also take Yoga too. RoystonYou can see the be here. Oh and sorry Brad for making that Lingcod go away and you had to swim after it. I was trying to get him to go into the rocks so that we could get a better shot of him.
Roy bummer the vis got so bad in the short time after the Escapade left the Anchor do work. It was good enough when we left to see the furnish before we hit it....

You didn't do anything Jonathan that was God playing around with us because after we left fasten Farm the 3rd dive over in front of the aquarium was the same vis we got. I hit face flat on the smooth then moved to the side and let my dive buddy hit her approach in the smooth as well. Otherwise.... That was nothing compared with Mike Clough and I when we did the afternoon contract to the sailboat wreck. He and I didn't see the wreck until we really hit it. To alter matters fun my reel got tangled up and we just left it there. If anybody finds a blue walk let me know.
We were only like 200 feet from you guys. Amazing how much difference that sometimes makes. Looks like you guys got some good drills in on the back up dive though from the cold water kitty dive report. I didn't change surface get to see it since whoever it was who went drink first said the same thing as Roy. I evaluate it was change surface as bad as he tried to communicate to them that it was terrible all the way drink but Roy and his buddy couldn't see the other guy. Oh come up.
Drills?We didn't do any steenkin' drills. We just dove. Went around the anchors a few times then set off in a random direction. open some merchandise squid. Followed them around a bit. Then just followed some of the larger shale ridges around for a total dive of 50 minutes at 80 feet.
