Veteran’s Park, Redondo Beach, CA

Dove with Instructor John, his friend Jim and John’s Harbor Police Open Water students as part of my Dive Master training.

In With: 1800 psi
Out With: 1100 psi
Max depth: 20 feet
Waves: 4-6 feet
Visibility: 3-10 feet
Water Temperature: 65 degrees Fahrenheit
Total Bottom Time: 10-15 minutes

I really don’t know if I should count this as a dive, but obviously I am.

John gave the students the option to cancel this dive.

One of the Police students had a tooth problem and called it quits; John turned back another student.

When we were ready to continue from our meeting spot once submerged, John gave me one of his students to take in – he was running out of air – he was breathing hard and his backup second stage started free flowing upon entry.

The student kept floating up – probably because of apprehension.

We all made it back in with no problem.
