Veteran’s Park
\n8 AM
\nRedondo Beach, CA<\/p>\n

Solo Diving<\/p>\n

My friend Nick informed me that he was going to take a lesson at Redondo.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I haven’t been deep diving in a while, so Redondo Beach was it!<\/p>\n

I entered the water about 8:30 AM; there were virtually no waves, a foot at best.<\/p>\n

I walked in to the water and put my fins on.<\/p>\n

I went down initially to 25 feet and swam West towrds the shelf.<\/p>\n

I went down the shelf to 80 feet. It was of course, really cold and dark.<\/p>\n

Squid egg sacks were sparse, but were there.<\/p>\n

I was at 80 feet for about five minutes.<\/p>\n

I started going back up the shelf and paid attention to how many dead crab skeletons littered the bottom.<\/p>\n

The floor is pretty barren; but coming back up the shelf, at the top was a huge white starfish, in the middle of nothing.<\/p>\n

I swam toward the beach and surfaced when I was at 10 feet.<\/p>\n

I took my fins off in the water and walked ashore.<\/p>\n

I stayed under about 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

In with: 2800 psi
\nOut With: 500 psi
\nMax depth: 80 feet
\nWaves: 1 foot
\nWater Temp: Cool
\nVisibility: 15 feet<\/p>\n

I met Nick when I was done, shortly after I got dressed.<\/p>\n

All he did was float on top of the water – how Boring!<\/p>\n

He wants to know what it’s like to dive.<\/p>\n

The water was so calm here, Long Point must be spectacular.<\/p>\n

I’ll try Long Point tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
