Long Point, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
\n(aka Long Point)<\/p>\n
Solo Diving<\/p>\n
In With: 2900 psi
\nOut With: 900 psi
\nMax depth: 55 feet
\nWaves: 1-2 feet
\nVisibility: 8-10 feet
\nWater Temperature: I got cold
\nTotal Bottom Time: 35 minutes<\/p>\n
Oh man, I sort of had a really bad hangover.<\/p>\n
I got to the water around 11:30 AM.<\/p>\n
It was flat as a lake.<\/p>\n
Dennis and Al were in the process of leaving.<\/p>\n
This was my first dive with my spare air; it’s sort of cumbersome.<\/p>\n
I decided I needed a redundant air source after springing a leak on my last solo dive.<\/p>\n
I really like breathing and 100 feet is a long way up if you can’t.<\/p>\n
I entered off the Point; it was low tide and very slippery.<\/p>\n
My plan was to swim to the Cove and exit.<\/p>\n
I saw two octopi, lots of fish, some trash, another solo diver and a rotting lobster trap.<\/p>\n
I started heading towards the cove and eventually surfaced to get my bearings.<\/p>\n
I discovered that I wasn’t moving very much due to a very strong current.<\/p>\n
I decided to burn to 800 psi and go in on The Point.<\/p>\n
I started going West and overshot the exit a little.<\/p>\n
I rode a wave in to the same entry point and crawled up a few slippery rocks.<\/p>\n
I learned shortly later that at 11:37 AM Pacific Time Pope John Paul II died at the Vatican.<\/p>\n
I was still hung-over; I went home and slept the entire day.<\/p>\n
By the way, the movie props for the movie “Dick and Jane” have been removed.<\/p>\n
From what I hear, Donald Trump has purchased the property, too.<\/p>\n
They’re suppose to allow beach access, but apparently during construction, we won’t have access.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
