I arrived around 8:30 AM; Dennis, Al and a whole group of people were there.

The Point looked a little rough as the waves came in from the West.

I went off The Cove and swam to the East.

I came across a lobster under a rock; I tipped it over to grab the lobster, but it did a disappearing act – it just vanished.

Directly out from a rock that I have named “friendship rock” is an old pier foundation.

I waited in 15 feet of water for my dive to be 60 minutes long.

I exited without incident.

I got hassled filling my yellow Aluminum tank at pacific Wilderness.

Apparently, it’s made from an Aluminum that has been known to explode while refilling.

I had to pay extra for them to do a “visual plus” inspection.
