\nTemperature: 55 degrees
\nTotal Bottom Time: About 60 minutes<\/p>\n

Still a little hung over from attending the Monster Truck event at Anaheim Stadium last night,\u00a0 I headed to Old Marineland for my traditional Sunday morning dive.<\/p>\n

Arriving fashionably late,\u00a0 I geared up and joined Not So New Chris and Chris From Michigan on a dive to 120 reef.<\/p>\n

A lot of the regulars were out of town, on boats, or chained to their wives.<\/p>\n

Some how, some way, the nice, flat and fairly sandy portions of the cove are now rock piles.<\/p>\n

The coast changes every time there’s a storm, but there hasn’t been one for weeks.<\/p>\n

\"Chris<\/p>\n

\"Vis<\/p>\n

Vis was crystal clear in the cove, but dropped to 10 feet at 120 reef.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A Sunstar crawls along the sand, looking for a home.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

We followed not so new Chris on his photo hunt.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A Lingcod?<\/p>\n

Yeah, I think so.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\"Every<\/p>\n

Every time I dive here, I always run across a reef formation that I’ve never seen before.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

We ran across the small arch.<\/p>\n

Heading back in, we lost New So New Chris, but he surfaced shortly after we did.<\/p>\n

Even though the beach is a lot rockier than previously, we all made uneventful exits.<\/p>\n

\"After<\/p>\n

After all the walking I did yesterday, I fell behind in the walk up.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The debriefing crew was light today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
