It was drizzling rain when I got there at 8:10 AM; other divers were there.

We were in the water around 9 AM.

Other divers were free diving with their tanks ashore; one was a short lady, skinny, with an English accent.

As far as I could tell, she was hot.

We went looking for the lobster trap that’s in 40 feet of water.

We couldn’t find it, but we ran across a lobster that we were trying to catch for 25 minutes.

We went back in running out of air on the search.

The water upon exit was calmer than going in.

I basically took my fins off and walked ashore.

Dove with Nick

Water Temperature: 40 minutes
Total Bottom Time: Cool

I met Nick at the top of the hill at 7:30 AM.

This was supposed to be a “Pacific Wilderness Club Dive.”

However, as I found out later, only two people showed up, so they canceled.

We went out off the familiar same familiar spot as we did July 5, 2005.

It was midway between high tide going to a deep low tide.

We swam out South East; visibility sort of sucked.

The water wasn’t as cold as I thought it would be.

We came upon a lobster hole; the lobsters retreated.

We got as deep as 32 feet, so we must have been way out.

Coming in, I noticed kelp further East.

Not much else to report.

Nick got worn out going against the surf coming in; I didn’t because I’m macho.

We submerged at 8:20 AM and surfaced at 9:10 AM; we “peaked” for about 10 minutes.
