Ed and I went down to Long Point about 9:25 AM.
Not too many other divers were around.
Ed went free diving; I went SCUBA diving.
We went just on the other side of the rocks off of Pigeon Shit cave.
Ed was hunting with his spear gun.
I pretty much followed the same path as yesterday.
I tried to find that lobster trap, but I couldn’t.
Sometimes I was way off of where I thought it was.
Nice dive, pretty much like yesterday.
I came back in; Ed was already back.
The purge valve in his snorkel was missing so he made it a short dive.
He says that he prefers free diving here because SCUBA equipment is too heavy to carry up and down the hill; I then pointed out several women SCUBA divers here.
We also met two of the “Sole Searchers.”
Yes, it’s a play on words; the group is from Pasadena.
