Malaga Cove, Palos Verdes Estates, CA<\/p>\n
Night time lobster hunting with Instructor John and student Ron T as part of an Advanced SCUBA class.<\/p>\n
In With: 3400 psi
\nOut With: 2200 psi
\nMax depth: 15 feet
\nWaves: 1 foot, very calm
\nVisibility: 10 feet but silty
\nWater Temperature: Cool
\nTotal Bottom Time: 25 minutes
\nNotable Event: This dive just really sucked!<\/p>\n
We met around 6:30 PM, geared up and walked down about 7:10 PM.<\/p>\n
I briefed Ron and John about what I knew of the area.<\/p>\n
John took us out on the South side of the pool building; that really sucked. <\/p>\n
It was extremely low tide and we ended up crawling over 20 yards of shallow rock before being able to sort of float.<\/p>\n
Once we were out, we started hunting for bugs. <\/p>\n
I was the only one to be able to submerge. <\/p>\n
John apparently forgot his weight belt; we found it later on shore. <\/p>\n
He wasn’t sure if he accidentally dropped it.<\/p>\n
Ron wasn’t properly weighted for such a shallow dive.<\/p>\n
Ron and I separated from John for a while.<\/p>\n
I caught a few lobsters, but they were all short.<\/p>\n
We were only under water about 20 minutes, maybe 25.<\/p>\n
Ron and I called the dive and started going in. <\/p>\n
John was coming in to look for his weight belt.<\/p>\n
We crawled back up over the plain of shallow rocks.<\/p>\n
This dive sucked.<\/p>\n
This was a jinxed dive. <\/p>\n
I discovered the next day that I left my fins down on the rocks!<\/p>\n
I went back the next day, 20 hours later, and they were still there! <\/p>\n
