Veteran’s Park, Redondo Beach, CA<\/p>\n
Solo Diving<\/p>\n
In with: 3100 psi
\nOut with: 800 psi
\nMaximum depth: 82 feet
\nWaves: 4 feet
\nVisibility: 10-15 feet
\nWater temperature: Warm, cooler at 80 feet
\nTotal Bottom Time: 40 minutes or so.<\/p>\n
I entered the water around 9:15 AM.<\/p>\n
As usual, a lot of other divers were there.<\/p>\n
I dropped down to 25 feet and went West over the shelf.<\/p>\n
I almost ran in to another diver who was hovering at 60 feet – just practicing buoyancy, I guess.<\/p>\n
Coming out I saw an unusual number of Bat Rays, many more than on previous dives.<\/p>\n
At 50 feet, there were a lot of very small fish hanging around what looks like a budding reef or wanna-be kelp bed.<\/p>\n
I went down to 70 feet and started getting dizzy, so I went back up to 60 and felt better.<\/p>\n
After getting used to the depth, I proceeded to 82 feet.<\/p>\n
I went back and at 60 feet went North. <\/p>\n
It’s either not as dead as I thought, or the environment is coming back — slowly.<\/p>\n
There were a lot of fish down there.<\/p>\n
At 1000 psi, I headed in and surfaced when at 15 feet. <\/p>\n
Coming out, I lost a fitting for one of my fins, but recovered it.<\/p>\n
The waves were four feet. but breaking close to shore. <\/p>\n
I walked up, but almost fell.<\/p>\n
My nose was bleeding more than usual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
