Dive ‘N’ Surf<\/a> provided the Dive Mastering and after event.<\/p>\nI entered the fairly calm water with TwinDuct and TwinDuct’s buddy Paul; unfortunately, Twinduct had to return to shore to get the proper amount of weights – he was not able to stay down.<\/p>\n

Paul and I submerged and swam towards the pier.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Paul found an Orange cone that had “Wet Floor” written on it – get the irony?<\/p>\n
We collected mostly the remains of plastic bags, but a few beer bottles and a fishing pole added to our trash heap.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We surfaced to get a bearing to our exit point.<\/p>\n
We swam in when I was down to 800 psi; Paul had a 120 cubic foot tank, so he had plenty of air – I hope he didn’t feel cheated.<\/p>\n
We made an easy and uneventful exit.<\/p>\n

The after clean up dive party – Anchovy-less pizza, beverages and a raffle.<\/p>\n

Even though the beach “Re-nourishment” barge was still ruining visibility off of Redondo Beach, the annual Under Water Beach Clean Up went forward.
