I was in the water at about 9:30 AM and went to the right looking for the supposed “yellow tail.”

I dove deeper than last time out – probably to 20 feet or so.

I remember thinking “this is a long way up…” On one dive I came up pretty dizzy, seeing stars in front of my eyes.

I rested a bit after that.

I chummed the water a bit with some sea urchins.

Just as before, I didn’t see any fish big enough to shoot!

All I saw were small sheephead and Garibaldi.

I made it back to shore with no problem, and out again with an empty hook.

I met a few SCUBA divers while walking up.
