\nWater Temperature: Cool
\nTotal Bottom Time: 50 minutes<\/p>\n
I met Nick at the top of White Point around 9:45 AM.<\/p>\n
It looked a little rough at the top, but manageable.<\/p>\n
It was two to three hours from high tide, but it was a shallow high tide.<\/p>\n
The cul de sac of water that we usually go out in was shallow.<\/p>\n
I walked half way out, put my fins on and skimmed over the rocks until I was in deeper water; that’s when I got hit by some big swells.<\/p>\n
We went out East of the cul de sac and submerged.<\/p>\n
Neither of us had cameras or spears, so it was purely sightseeing.<\/p>\n
We saw what was left of a dead octopus and a baby man o’war.<\/p>\n
I had my floodlight with me so I could see in the caves; we spotted a couple of lobsters.<\/p>\n
I don’t believe there’s one “dead spot” off of White Point.<\/p>\n
Kelp, reefs and various life is very abundant; there’s some trash down there, too – an old tire, etc.<\/p>\n
We surfaced just South of the main reef to get our home course.<\/p>\n
My nose kept plugging up because the depth changes so quickly going over the reefs; 30 feet to 10 feet back to 30.<\/p>\n
We surfaced close to the cul de sac and started to shore.<\/p>\n
It was terrifying because some of the reefs are above water when the swell recedes and then is submerged when the water comes in.<\/p>\n
It was a challenge, but, as I previously said about White Point, it probably looks more terrifying than it really is.<\/p>\n
I actually used air to get back in; I tried using my snorkel, but it didn’t look like it would work long term.<\/p>\n
Coming in wore Nick Out.<\/p>\n
We were the only divers there; The “4th of July weekend” crowd was abundant.<\/p>\n
Hot chick sunbathers greeted us as we came out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
