Three Sisters, Santa Barbara Island, CA
\nDiving off of the Sundiver Boat<\/p>\n

\nOut With: 800 psi
\nMax depth: 40 feet
\nWaves: Insignificant, but a strong current
\nVisibility: 40 feet
\nWater Temperature: Cool
\nTotal Bottom Time: 45 minutes<\/p>\n

Dove with Nick and 15 other guys and hot chicks.<\/p>\n

We showed up four hours before the boat was to leave to scout out a good sleeping spot and then went to party at Buster’s.<\/p>\n

\"Nick<\/p>\n

The waitress comes over and offers to take our picture. <\/p>\n

She was really hot, so how could I refuse. <\/p>\n

And to prove she was hot, I decided to fulfill every bartender’s fantasy…<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

…and have Nick snap a picture of her and one of her customers in an increasingly intoxicated state.<\/p>\n

After being thrown out of the crew bunk (the only single) and apparently making a drunken stink about it (I don’t really remember, but Nick does), I was thrown in to the common man’s sleeping quarters and the boat left at midnight.<\/p>\n

The boat arrived off of “Arch Point” at about 5:30 AM. <\/p>\n

They waited for sunrise and made breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"Three<\/p>\n

The boat then moved to “Three Sisters.”<\/p>\n

Gearing up, I had to borrow a second stage from my rig and attach it to Ed’s rig.<\/p>\n

None the less, I was still the first in the water.<\/p>\n

\"Nick<\/p>\n

Nick is so tall, he just has to step off the boat.<\/p>\n

Swimming to the anchor line was a chore.<\/p>\n

Nick and I both had our cameras.<\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

An octopus.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A green anemone.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A sea snail on kelp.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

A sea star!<\/p>\n

The environment reminds me of White Point; lots of sea urchins, star fish, an octopus and some kelp.<\/p>\n

\"Stalked<\/p>\n

Going towards shore, we were stalked by some sea lions.<\/p>\n

\"Pacific<\/p>\n

Coming back to the boat, we saw a Pacific Electric Ray – I didn’t know it at the time, but Nick waved me off of my pursuit. <\/p>\n

He later told me that they can become aggressive and shock you.<\/p>\n

Thanks Nick! <\/p>\n

Finally buddy diving has paid off for me.<\/p>\n

Everyone was out of the water by 9:15 AM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
