With a slight hangover, I made it to Long Point a little after 8 AM determined to either dive in pristine conditions or call the dive.<\/p>\n

Reports from some divers who were walking up said, “It looks like a milkshake.”<\/p>\n

\"Conditions<\/p>\n

Lots of foam in the cove and all along the coast was very apparent.<\/p>\n

The Point looked calm as far as swells were concerned, but conditions looked crappier than last week – and visibility last week sucked!<\/p>\n

The entire group decided to “check out” Honeymoon Cove.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Honeymoon Cove looked 100% better than Old Marineland, but the goat trail down still sucks!<\/p>\n

According to a free diver that we met, this place has another name – “Charlie’s.”<\/p>\n

New Chris explained that some guy named Charlie got married and jumped off this cliff for his honeymoon; hence the names “Honeymoon Cove” and “Charlie’s.”<\/p>\n

It made sense to me.<\/p>\n

Still, those desperate and macho enough to do a decent dive went ahead…<\/p>\n

\"SCUBA<\/p>\n

When you dive Honeymoon Cove, the actual dive is just part of the fun.<\/p>\n

\"SCUBA<\/p>\n

Thankfully, there were no incidences on the way down.<\/p>\n

New Chris, Reverend Al, a freediver and I walked down the street to check out Cristmas Tree Cove.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Honeymoon<\/p>\n

Christmas Tree Cove looked better, condition wise, than Honeymoon Cove.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The trail down Christmas Tree Cove looked a lot easier than Honeymoon Cove, too.<\/p>\n

I’ll have to put this spot on my potential sites to dive.<\/p>\n

No beer, no debriefing – just meditation at the ocean;\u00a0 at least I don’t have to rinse gear!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
