I wanted a nice and relaxing deep dive.

Students were all over the place, as usual.

The water was 15 feet and crystal clear, until I got over the shelf.

There’s a bunch of bricks at 70 feet arranged in a circle with an empty SCUBA tank in the middle.

Someone had strung a line from here, so I followed it.

Vis really started to suck, so I turned back at 80 feet.

Crabs, sand dollars were all around, but still, OK, it is still a pretty barren environment, but at least the vis was good above the shelf.

It was so calm, I swam all the way to shore and had to turn back in three feet of water to take my fins off!

When I got back to the parking lot, there was an event by the local Divevets group.

It was a toy drive and “decorate the underwater Christmas tree” dive.

Dennis and Al were present, so were Sean and Julia from Pacific Wilderness.
