The Avalon Wreck, Palos Verdes, California<\/p>\n

Diving With Mike C. from the Divevets.<\/p>\n

In With: 3000 psi
\nOut With: 700 psi
\nMax depth: 70 feet
\nWaves: Pretty calm with some sporadic chop
\nVisibility: 15 to 20 feet
\nWater Temperature: Sort of cold at depth
\nTotal Bottom Time: About 40 minutes<\/p>\n

I dried my camera housing out and spit on the lens to hopefully prevent it from fogging up on this dive.<\/p>\n

Mike and I descended down a marker that was placed over some part of the wreck.<\/p>\n

\"At<\/p>\n

At a depth of 70 feet, my camera housing fogged up again.<\/p>\n

Vis was not as good as the last dive.<\/p>\n

Mike strung a line from near the anchor line and we swam to the crane; we ended up touring the whole wreck.<\/p>\n

\"During<\/p>\n

During the safety stop, my camera defogged; this is the only underwater picture that I took today that’s worth a shit.<\/p>\n

One of the divers told me, “Just put your camera in the microwave for about 20 minutes – that’ll dry it out!”<\/p>\n

A suggestion that I got from Mike was to put those silicon packs that absorb moisture in the camera case.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

We broke out the deco bottles.<\/p>\n

\"Mirek<\/p>\n

Mirek tries to hand Dan a beer, who went for a swim to collect some markers.<\/p>\n

\"Mike<\/p>\n

Mike C. and macho me.<\/p>\n

\"Debriefing<\/p>\n

Debriefing on the way back to Redondo Beach.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A passing shot of the beautiful Palos Verdes Penninsula as Mike flashes his tit for the camera.<\/p>\n

\"Seagulls<\/p>\n

Seagulls launch a deadly poop attack on an innocent boat.<\/p>\n

Once back at the dock, Dan took off and some others went out to eat; I had to leave and attend to some work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
