We made our way to the bow – we saw a lobster antenna sticking out of a crack in the hull, so thick, it must have been from a bug the size of a large dog.<\/p>\n
We also had an encounter with a baby black sea bass, that was still pretty damn huge.<\/p>\n
The rest of the dive was pretty uneventful.<\/p>\n
I motioned to Joe when I was down to 1000 psi – I was hoping he had a better idea where the anchor line was; I did not want to do a drifting safety stop.<\/p>\n
He brought me back to the anchor line and I started the slow ascent to the surface.<\/p>\n
Joe and John decide to move the anchor – it was on the wreck, with the potential of getting stuck – so, they picked it up and moved it to the sand.<\/p>\n
For whatever reason, they stayed down too long and both had to do a mandatory decompression stop.<\/p>\n
If you ever want to screw with someone doing a mandatory deco stop, try dry humping him – I only heard about this second hand, and I won’t go into the details.<\/p>\n
All made it back alive and well, and my ears were fine.<\/p>\n
Joe tried to charge John for “Technical Dive Training” because of the deco stop, but was nice enough to eventually wave the fee.<\/p>\n
The food and beer helped make the trip back to Redondo Beach a very short one.<\/p>\n
Below is the movie I took.<\/p>\n
If you do not have 3D glasses, you can turn the 3D off.<\/p>\n
Vis was 15 feet, so the movie is a bit green.<\/p>\n
If anyone knows why there are flashes of vertical black lines on the movie, please let me know.<\/p>\n
