February 16, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Still sore from training to be a cage fighter, I was determined to ignore the pain and get in a Sunday Services dive.<\/p>\n

I’ve been MIA with the Sunday group for a while, so I also thought I would fire up the ghetto grill.<\/p>\n

The waves looked flat; even the Point entry looked easy for non-macho divers.<\/p>\n

We geared up and headed for the Point. <\/p>\n

I don’t know what it is with me hitting the water, but as soon as I put my fins on and flopped on the calm water to swim out, the water receded, landing me stranded on a boulder, only to have a wave pick me up and slam me against another boulder.<\/p>\n

I shook it off and swam the retreating swell out.<\/p>\n

\"Visibility<\/p>\n

It’s a phenomenon that has yet to be explained, but the fact that Chipper and I are in the same water has an affect on the conditions – the deep water was dark and silty, with 10 foot visibility at best.<\/p>\n

Reverend Al guided us to the statue…<\/p>\n

It is nice to see the marine life coming back.<\/p>\n

\"A
\nLobsters just stare as we swim by, knowing that they are protected.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mike saw a shark, but other than that, this was a nice and uneventful dive.<\/p>\n

The water was so calm getting out, I didn’t even power up my camera to catch a potential wipe out on the rocks.<\/p>\n
