Dove with Nick

Met Nick at 9:45 AM — he needed air, I bought a new pair of gloves.

We entered the water probably around 10:30 AM.

I exchanged numbers with “Robert” from Long Point – he expressed interest in going tomorrow.

We went to the same kelp bed as yesterday.

I hunted, Nick just followed.

Surprisingly, the water was really cold, the air was warm.

Visibility sucked to hell – 10 feet and soupy.

I broke open several sea urchins over many of the reefs we traveled.

I only saw one sheephead and it was short.

We stayed under about 45 minutes.

At 1000 psi we started heading in; we came up right on target, very close to shore.

There was a swim suit model posing for a photographer on the rocks.

What a welcome!
