Long Point, CA
(aka The Old Marineland)

I met Nick at noon, thinking it was high tide.

It was actually low tide.

We geared up and checked The Point.

It was too rough — the waves crashed against the rocks.

We walked back to the cove.

Daniel M. from Redondo pier walked down to try and find us.

We went to the far kelp bed.

I had my camera, Nick was a spectator.

There was one reef that had two big sheephead.

Nick practiced navigation and annoying sea life.

We surfaced 45 minutes after going down in the exact same spot.

It was a nice dive; Nick was impressed with the scenery.

We’re going back tomorrow.
