Avalon Underwater Park
\n(aka Casino Point)
\nCatalina, CA<\/p>\n
Dove with Instructor John, Ron T. and John’s Open Water student Jack* <\/strong>as part of our Dive Master class.<\/p>\n In With: 3000 psi We did the traditional skin dive first – we saw a HUGE black sea bass. <\/p>\n Jack was a little freaked and yelled to us, “What is that? Is it going to hurt us?”<\/p>\n We swam after it.<\/p>\n The free dive sort of reminded me how I sometimes don’t like free diving. <\/p>\n I think I almost passed out coming up from 25 feet; I was dizzy for a bit.<\/p>\n On the actual SCUBA dive, Jack slipped on the stairs leading to the water; he was all right.<\/p>\n We all made it out and met at the life preserver\/ buoy.<\/p>\n Jack took a while getting down.<\/p>\n John fed the fish frozen peas. <\/p>\n The fish swarmed – Jack tried catching a few.<\/p>\n We headed over to the Jacques Cousteau memorial. <\/p>\n John had Jack adjust his BC jacket – something must have happened, like diver malfunction, because as soon as we left the memorial, Jack started to float up. <\/p>\n Ron chased after him, I went to get John.<\/p>\n We all surfaced, swam to where it was shallower and continued our dive. <\/p>\n Jack took his time getting down, which was okay.<\/p>\n We all made it back and up the stairs without incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Avalon Underwater Park (aka Casino Point) Catalina, CA Dove with Instructor John, Ron T. and John’s Open Water student Jack* as part of our Dive Master class.
