Point Vicente Fishing Access, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, USA
\n(aka “Cardiac Hill”)<\/p>\n

Dove With Nick<\/p>\n

In with: 3100 psi
\nOut with: 1000 psi
\nMax depth: 20 feet
\nWaves: 1-2 feet
\nVisibility: 15 feet
\nWater Temperature: Cool
\nTotal Bottom Time: About one hour<\/p>\n

We met at 8:40 AM; the waves were very calm.<\/p>\n

I brought my binoculars to peer down from the top of the cliff.<\/p>\n

\"Nick<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

We started down the hill about 9:15 AM.<\/p>\n

Nick had his camera, I was sightseeing.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

We went out about 100 yards past the end of the main trail.<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

We submerged and went around the whole island.<\/p>\n

\"Nick<\/p>\n

\"Off<\/p>\n

We swam out to the mini island in the middle of the cove.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A Guitar fish waits to attack.<\/p>\n

\"Nick<\/p>\n

\"Nick<\/p>\n

We spotted a guitarfish, several lobsters and a huge rockfish; also, several large Sheephead.<\/p>\n

\"Off<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

The whole cove is one big shallow reef.<\/p>\n

The cove is very shallow and the deepest it gets is 20 feet – if you go way out.<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

I followed Nick the second half of the trip.<\/p>\n

We ended up way out<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I lost my bearings a few times, but the surface was always just a few feet up.<\/p>\n

We came ashore with no problems.<\/p>\n

It, being so shallow, I was only able to get one fin off before washing ashore.<\/p>\n

A father and his two kids were asking us about diving.<\/p>\n

The father seemed like he was amazed that we did this kind of diving “just for fun.”<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

I was very enthusiastic about the walk up Cardiac Hill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
