Having secretly bribed a boat captain for these GPS coordinates, Instructor John and I took the mighty zodiac to check out a secret deep lobster hunting spot off of Redondo Beach.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It took us 15 minutes to get to the approximate spot and 20 minutes trolling around to find the exact spot; life was easier after Instructor John figured out he was accidentally in reverse for a while.<\/p>\n
We dropped anchor in 85 feet of water; I briefed him on where it gets really deep, really fast.<\/p>\n
But, I also said, “We are here at the exact coordinates according to your GPS, but we won’t really know if we’re here until we descend.”<\/p>\n
We both submerged at the same time, but I had to take my time equalizing; by the time I made it to the ocean floor at 85 feet, John had already taken off to the East, I went West.<\/p>\n
I looked at my computer and it was off.<\/p>\n
I turned it back on and it wouldn’t turn on; maybe the batteries?<\/p>\n
OK, back to “time approximation” and using the dive tables.<\/p>\n
The ground looked familiar as far as the contour, but I never ran across some of the landmark pipes and concrete boxes; if we weren’t at the exact spot, we were close.<\/p>\n
I saw one short lobster in 85 feet of water; other than that, it was a pretty bland and uneventful dive.<\/p>\n
There was no current, the swells were flat and the visibility was good; I surfaced pretty close to the zodiac and boarded empty handed.<\/p>\n
I spotted John in the distance making a long surface swim back.<\/p>\n
Once he climbed on board, he said, “My computer is screwed up, it still thinks I’m at 15 feet.”<\/p>\n
Two computers broken on the same dive?<\/p>\n
Is this some sort of “Dive Computer Burmuda Triangle?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Instructor John caught three lobsters in 110 feet of water – at least that’s what his screwed up computer told him; I would guess he didn’t get deeper than 90, maybe 100.<\/p>\n
We pulled anchor and tried another secret spot off of Palos Verdes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
