Veteran’s Park
Redondo Beach, CA

Solo Diving

I checked out Long Point around 9 AM; the conditions looked crappy.

Like last week, I couldn’t see the second kelp bed – indications of a strong current.

I went to Redondo Beach instead.

I entered the water around 10:30 AM.

I went to 60 feet over the shelf and swam North, then back.

I then went to 80 feet.

Visibility really sucked; 10 feet at best.

It was overcast when I started, but the sun had obviously come out when I was under.

This was an uneventful, pure exercise dive.

It looked like some kids were on a field trip to Veteran’s Park.

It was sort of a challenge getting out.

The waves always pick up when I get in the water.
