Dennis, Al and some divers from Pacific Wilderness were exiting the water as I was walking down.
I went off the cove as the waves were picking up.
I submerged off the rocky point near Pigeon Shit cave and went South East to look for the reefs.
I sort of got lost.
It was like diving Redondo Beach half of the dive, all sand.
I eventually ran in to the lobster trap that some renegade occasionally baits.
I looked for lobsters, but didn’t see any.
I strayed a little off course coming in.
Out with no problem even though the swells were picking up.
The divers from Pacific Wilderness were in the parking lot having a barbecue and beer party.
They’ve seen me around the local diving scene, but didn’t even say “hi” to me.
They’re a strange bunch and probably as anti-social as I am to those who aren’t in their circle.
