I haven’t heard from Nick; he’s suppose to be back in town this weekend.
Oh well, I can go off “The Point” on this dive.
The waves were fairly calm and flat.
I took my game bag to look for lobsters.
I went off The Point with no problem; two other divers entered five minutes behind me.
I proceeded North, it looked like the current was going South.
Lots of fish this dive, schools of Mackerel, lots of Sheephead.
Very abundant sea life!
I saw a lobster within the first five minutes, but it took off once I approached.
I spent the next 20 minutes looking for lobsters.
I surfaced at 1000 psi and noticed that I was half way to the cove.
I headed towards the cove, but it seemed as though the current changed midway because I had a hell of a time getting in.
