Dennis, Al and some divers from Pacific Wilderness were exiting the water as I was walking down.

I went off the cove as the waves were picking up.

I submerged off the rocky point near Pigeon Shit cave and went South East to look for the reefs.

I sort of got lost.

It was like diving Redondo Beach half of the dive, all sand.

I eventually ran in to the lobster trap that some renegade occasionally baits.

I looked for lobsters, but didn’t see any.

I strayed a little off course coming in.

Out with no problem even though the swells were picking up.

The divers from Pacific Wilderness were in the parking lot having a barbecue and beer party.

They’ve seen me around the local diving scene, but didn’t even say “hi” to me.

They’re a strange bunch and probably as anti-social as I am to those who aren’t in their circle.
