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: 2000 psi This is my second dive today with Instructor John, Ron T. and the OW student Jack.<\/p>\n Jack made it down a little quicker this dive; he also managed better control – not much arm movement.<\/p>\n Jack was amazed that we all looked like we were just “floating there.” <\/p>\n He did his beast to emulate us, but this being his second SCUBA dive ever, nobody was expecting his buoyancy to be perfect.<\/p>\n We went down to the barge, and through the opening as we usually do. <\/p>\n Ron went around.<\/p>\n John checked Jack’s air and started heading back. <\/p>\n Jack did a good job trying to be streamlined and maintain control.<\/p>\n We made it out with no problems, even though the tide was lower and some rocks were exposed under the staircase.<\/p>\n Since we had a while before boarding the boat back, all four of us went to a pizza place and ran up a $100 tab for pizza, shrimp and beer.<\/p>\n We had several more beers on the way back.<\/p>\n John quit drinking after two beers at the restaurant; Ron and I kept up with Jack.<\/p>\n Jack was certainly an entertaining student. <\/p>\n He’s a longshoreman, amateur boxer and loves to drink and pick up women; he put on a progressively entertaining show on the way home as we pounded the beers.<\/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.
