Long Point (aka The Old Marineland, Terranea Resort), Palos Verdes, California<\/p>\n

Solo Diving<\/p>\n

In With: 3100 psi
\nOut With: 800 psi
\nMax depth: 40 feet
\nWaves: Small swells, almost as flat as a lake
\nVisibility: 10 feet
\nWater Temperature: 64 degrees
\nTotal Bottom Time: About 50 minutes<\/p>\n

The weather has been really weird lately; there were tornados last week in Los Angeles county, the temperature has been very hot and then cooled rapidly over the last few days.<\/p>\n

It started to rain a bit at Long Point – this is not typical California weather.<\/p>\n

Two other divers were at Long Point; the lot was practically deserted.<\/p>\n

The other two went off the Point; since it was low tide, I decided to go off the Cove – I hate slipping on the rocks at the Point.<\/p>\n

Easy out; the water was 64 degrees!<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

Me, with Pigeon Shit Cave behind me.<\/p>\n

I swam to the rock jetty and submerged for a swim to 120 reef.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A school of bait.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A starfish gives me the finger as I swim by.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A Sunstar!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\"Can<\/p>\n

Can you see the Halibut?<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

I slightly banged my knee getting out, but it was an uneventful exit.<\/p>\n

The vis probably would have been better if it was sunny.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The risks of being macho.<\/p>\n

The other two divers reported that “it was the best 10 foot vis dive we ever had; lots of fish and sea life.”<\/p>\n

\"Debriefing<\/p>\n

Out comes the barbecue and beer; a few other divers who weren’t diving showed up to the debriefing.<\/p>\n

\"Cyber<\/p>\n

Cyber the attack dog likes punk rock.<\/p>\n

Debriefing lasted for a few hours.<\/p>\n

Another excellent, even though gloomy, day of diving in Southern California<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
