Long Point, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
\n(aka The Old Marineland)<\/p>\n

Diving With John H.<\/p>\n

In With: 2600 psi
\nOut With: 200 psi
\nMax depth: 55 feet
\nWaves: 1-2 feet, pretty calm
\nVisibility: 20 feet in some places
\nWater Temperature: Getting cold
\nTotal Bottom Time: 45 minutes<\/p>\n

I took my time getting to Long Point; this was supposed to be a solo dive.<\/p>\n

Once I geared up, I had major problems with my rig free flowing.<\/p>\n

This has been happening about once every four F’ing dives!<\/p>\n

Anyway, as I finally pieced together a working rig from my other rigs, someone pulled up and said to me, “hey, I see you diving solo all over the place…”<\/p>\n

He must have geared up quickly; by the time I got down and entered from the point, he was right behind me.<\/p>\n

“I’m following you,” he said.<\/p>\n

Realizing that I had only 2600 psi, I canceled plans to look for recently sunken boat and agreed to follow him.<\/p>\n

John H did a macho man belly flop off the Point with his spear gun.<\/p>\n

We debated on where to exit.<\/p>\n

Since he said he would teach me how to exit the Point, we decided to go West.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/p>\n

We explored the kelp and lobster holes.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/p>\n

John speared a few fish – a sheephead and a White Sea bass.<\/p>\n

\"Me,<\/p>\n

I went up first when I had 200 psi – John stayed under for about 10 additional minutes.<\/p>\n

We were way the hell out!<\/p>\n

A few hundred yards South West of “the Point.”<\/p>\n

After a 20 minute surface swim against the current, we “surfed” onto The Point.<\/p>\n

John H’s girlfriend Mayna complimented the green color of my Duster.<\/p>\n

I think John remembers the car, not necessarily me.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/p>\n

The lobster John caught was given to me.<\/p>\n

I’ll be anyone’s buddy if they give me lobster!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
