Long Point, CA
\n(aka The Old Marineland)<\/p>\n
Solo Diving<\/p>\n
Holy shit!<\/p>\n
It had been raining a few weeks ago and was very cold since.<\/p>\n
I thought, “OK, there’s no surf alert, and the weather is warmer; I’ll go diving.”<\/p>\n
I arrived at Long Point about 9:00 AM. I walked to see the surf — 6 foot plus waves.<\/p>\n
The kelp beds were swishing around.<\/p>\n
OK, I went anyway.<\/p>\n
I saw two other divers go in before me.<\/p>\n
It was tough getting in, the waves were large.<\/p>\n
There was nothing to see.<\/p>\n
Five foot visibility at best.<\/p>\n
I also could hear the perpetual crashing of the waves on the rocks.<\/p>\n
I swam through the first kelp bed, but didn’t see any kelp.<\/p>\n
I wasn’t going to waste my energy.<\/p>\n
I got out early.<\/p>\n
As I was coming out, three other divers were going in.<\/p>\n
I said, “If you’ve never dived off of rocks before, today is not the time to start.”<\/p>\n
In with: 3100 psi
\nOut with: 2000 psi
\nMax depth: 30 feet??
\nWaves 6 feet plus??
\nWater temp: cold<\/p>\n
I dove with my new regulator; I think the depth gauge is bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
