I am not going to fluff this post up with recycled news – like sometimes I do – but, I found out that during a wind storm several days ago, two people died on Catalina.<\/p>\n

If you want, read about it here. <\/a><\/p>\n

I also heard from Dr. D that someone died at Emerald Bay, Catalina in a “dry suit accident.”<\/p>\n

I can’t find any information on the latter.<\/p>\n

I arrived early and scoped out conditions with Blue Steel Dennis and Randy.<\/p>\n

It was perfect.<\/p>\n

If you timed an entrance from The Point incorrectly, you would not get hurt.<\/p>\n

Dennis and TwinDuct entered from The Cove; the rest geared up and made an easy entry off The Point.<\/p>\n

Randy’s mask strap broke upon entry, so his (now solo dive) was delayed a bit.<\/p>\n

Logged SCUBA Dive #481<\/p>\n

SoCal Buddy Diving with Blue Steel Dennis, TwinDuct, Dr. D, Eric, Randy and Reverend Al<\/p>\n

I had an Aluminum 80, everyone else had a 100 or more; I broke off from the group early and made an uneventful exit.<\/p>\n

Randy and Eric were macho enough to do a second dive while the rest of us debriefed with beer and the ghetto grill. <\/p>\n

During a later conversation, I was told that if I wanted a girlfriend, I should lower my expectations and find an older woman and get a dog as a substitute offspring.<\/p>\n

I think Hara-Kiri or staying single is better.<\/p>\n
