Solo Diving.

Ed is still working on getting his bar “working.”

I haven’t been diving in all of September, so I went alone off of Redondo Beach.

Ed was on shore and met my brother Paul, who’s back from Korea for a week.

The waves were one foot at best.

Easy in, but the visibility was only 10 to 15 feet.

I went about 70 feet down.

It was cold and dark; every shadow looked like a shark, but that was my mind playing tricks.

I saw more small fish and spider crabs than ever before.

I was under water for 35 minutes, mostly at 35 feet.

I practiced hovering and just swam for exercise.

I came back out walking ashore.

Great exercise, but it gets lonely diving by myself.

In with: 2800 psi.
Out with: 800 psi.
Waves: 1 ft.
Max depth: 70 ft.
Coldest Water temp: Probably 50 degrees.
