Veteran’s Park
Redondo Beach, CA

Solo Diving

I got to Veteran’s Park around 9:30 AM.

Other divers were there.

This was going to purely be an exercise, deep water dive.

I used my tank — leaning up against it — to put my fins on.

I entered the water around 10 AM and did my typical — go down to 30 feet, head West over the shelf and down to 80 feet.

Once at 80 feet I went up to 50 feet — I just wanted to see if I could go up — we had problems with our night dive.

Visibility was pretty good at 15 feet.

I started heading (back) at 1500 psi.

I was up the shelf and very close to shore (I surfaced at 10 feet) with 900 psi.

I took my fins off in the water and walked ashore.

I was under water a little over 30 minutes.

In with: 2800 psi
Out with: 900 psi
Max depth: 82 depth
Waves: 2 feet
Visibility: Average 15+ feet and clear
Water Temperature: I guess about 55 degrees F

(Off Veteran’s Park)

Solo Diving

Yesterday I called Robert From Long Point to see if he wanted to dive Long Point.

After telling him about the poor visability, he declined.

So, Redondo it is!

I got there about 10 AM.

There were many other divers there.

I found it easier to put my fins on at the water by taking my tank off and using that to lean on.

It was really shallow going out — I was sort of skimming on my stomach.

I went over the shelf – I ran in to two other divers coming up.

Going over, I was right under a huge school of mackerel.

I went down to 82 feet, got a massage (as Ed would put it) and came back up to the top of the shelf.

I walked ashore shore.

In With: 2800 psi
Out With: 1000 psi
Max depth: 82 feet
Waves: 2 feet
Visibility: 15 feet and clear
Water Temperature: Cold, but warmer than yesterday
