So Cal Buddy diving with Roland B.\/night diving<\/p>\n
In With: 2800 psi
\nOut With: 300 psi
\nMax depth: 100 feet (briefly)
\nWaves: Light chop
\nVisibility: 15 feet
\nWater Temperature: About 55 degrees Fahrenheit I would say
\nTotal Bottom Time: 45 minutes<\/p>\n
It was raining slightly.<\/p>\n
I finally met Roland B., one of the founders of Divevets.<\/p>\n
“Ax” and “Steph” were there, so were Dominic, Tony, Jimmy The Bags Man and someone else.<\/p>\n
Dominic caught me putting my BC on the tank upside down.<\/p>\n
Ooops!<\/p>\n
Some of these divers had never seen me before.<\/p>\n
The boat left at 8 PM or so.<\/p>\n
I explained to Roland how crappy of a buddy I am when it comes to lobster hunting.<\/p>\n
Roland said, “Me too” and buddied with me as “same day, same ocean.”<\/p>\n
I was the first off the boat, maybe second.<\/p>\n
I went down the anchor line and to the South East – and trolled and trolled.<\/p>\n
At about 95 feet, I spotted what was left of some metal pill box with part of the lid collapsed.<\/p>\n
Under it was two hopefully legal lobsters.<\/p>\n
I lifted the lid, up came silt and a crab that jumped on the lobster – for whatever reason.<\/p>\n
How heroic!<\/p>\n
They retreated.<\/p>\n
I couldn’t grab them; I have a phobia of grabbing for things in confined places because of eels and such.<\/p>\n
I kept trolling, but was running low on air after 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
A seal or sea lion buzzed me for a few minutes.<\/p>\n
I surfaced very slowly doing a safety stop for about a minute at 20 feet or so.<\/p>\n
I surfaced about 70 yards from the boat and swam back without incident.<\/p>\n
Out of eight divers, two legal lobsters were caught.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
