<\/p>\nI need to get back into the swing of things.<\/p>\n
I need to start diving at least a couple times a week, otherwise I see myself just getting older and withering away.<\/p>\n
The sun really didn’t come out this morning, so it was hard to get up, but I was determined.<\/p>\n
Not many regulars appeared – Dr. D (aka Dennis G.), Kenneth and a couple others, but mostly new faces; at least new faces to me.<\/p>\n
I accompanied Dr. D., with Pinky and New Dry Suit Chris to 120 reef.<\/p>\n
Logged SCUBA Dive #425<\/p>\n
Dove with Dr. D, and “Pinky” and New Dry Suit Chris
\nTerranea Resort. Rancho Palos Verdes, CA<\/p>\n
In With: 3000 psi
\nOut With: 900 psi
\nMax depth: 43 feet
\nWaves: Pretty flat, maybe two foot swells
\nVisibility: Up to 20 feet
\nWater Temperature: 64 degrees
\nAir Temperature: 65 degrees
\nTotal Bottom Time: About 39 minutes<\/p>\n
For whatever reason, I had a hard time keeping my footing on entry.<\/p>\n
Visibility sucked in the cove, but cleared to 20 feet of visibility further out; we could see the bottom.<\/p>\n
We swam to the rocky finger outside of pigeon shit cave and descended. <\/p>\n
We followed Dr. D. who lead us to places of 120 Reef that I forgot existed. <\/p>\n
This was a pretty routine, uneventful dive.<\/p>\n
The other two divers apparently had only a dozen dives after certification, but did extremely well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A perfect dive with a perfect exit, too – no casualties!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Debriefing was with Budweiser and ghetto grill cooked spicy sausages.<\/p>\n
I was talking to yet another Bob about the differences between Divets and the now defunct “Sandeaters” dive club.<\/p>\n
“The Sandeaters would meet once a week at a different location, but nobody knew who was part of the club… different people would show up and some you would never see again…”<\/p>\n
“…and as soon as the dive ended, people would get in their cars and leave; you never got to debrief or get to know anybody.”<\/p>\n
If it wasn’t for the post dive debriefing, I probably would just dive solo.<\/p>\n
Dr. D and Pinky were so macho, they did a second dive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
