Long Point, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
\n(aka The Old Marineland)<\/p>\n
Solo Diving<\/p>\n
In With: 3000 psi
\nOut With: 1200 psi
\nMax depth: 40 feet
\nWaves: 1-3 feet
\nVisibility: 10-15 feet, silty
\nWater Temperature: Cool
\nTotal Bottom Time: I think about 30 minutes<\/p>\n
My Memorial Day Dive!<\/p>\n
I stopped by Friday to dive, but conditions sucked.<\/p>\n
I scouted today’s conditions – the Point was really choppy, but the Cove looked manageable.<\/p>\n
A lot of the Divevets were there.<\/p>\n
I entered from the Cove and swam East toward the first reef and submerged.<\/p>\n
Vis was probably 10-15 feet, or a “good 10,” but pretty silty.<\/p>\n
At one point in my dive, the water turned REALLY DARK.<\/p>\n
I looked up as a thick school of mackerel (or sardines) passed overhead; I then got spooked by seeing two other divers.<\/p>\n
Coming ashore, I couldn’t get one of my fins off to walk, so I crawled up on the rocks – sort of embarrassing because a lot of the Divevets were watching my not-so-graceful exit.<\/p>\n
I was the first one in the water, and the first one out this morning. <\/p>\n
Some divers were still entering as I was coming ashore.<\/p>\n
I didn’t hang out for the traditional Divevets beer party. <\/p>\n
I slammed a few of my own brews and left early.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
