So Cal Buddy diving with Roland B.\/night diving<\/p>\n

In With: 2800 psi
\nOut With: 1300 psi
\nMax depth: 50 feet
\nWaves: Light chop
\nVisibility: 15 feet
\nWater Temperature: About 55 degrees Fahrenheit, I think.
\nTotal Bottom Time: 35 minutes<\/p>\n

After an hour surface interval, it was back in the water again to look for more lobsters.<\/p>\n

I was the second overboard, Tony was the first.<\/p>\n

I asked which direction I should go and was told, “just jump overboard,” and did just that.<\/p>\n

I believe I went East and trolled over large hills of sand\u00a0at 50 feet.<\/p>\n

Dead kelp at the bottom fooled me for lobster… and then I came across a lobster and pinned it!<\/p>\n

I measured it quickly and bagged it.<\/p>\n

I kept wondering why the hell anyone would call this place what it’s called.<\/p>\n

It’s named for a sunken landmark.<\/p>\n

I surfaced, went back underneath the boat, and did large circles trolling for more lobsters.<\/p>\n

I figured 30 minutes would be a safe dive.<\/p>\n

I trolled and trolled and figured that all I could come back with is one lobster – and quite an expensive one at that.<\/p>\n

I surfaced close to the boat, but remeasured my lobster before making my way back.<\/p>\n

It must have shrunk in the air; it was slightly short.<\/p>\n

I asked why this place was named for a wreck that wasn’t there.<\/p>\n

Apparently, there is a sunken craft there, I just didn’t run across it.<\/p>\n

Someone asked, “Who was your buddy?”<\/p>\n

I said, “Roland.”<\/p>\n

He said, “Well, Roland was there, so either you didn’t stay together or you saw it.”<\/p>\n

\"Divers<\/p>\n

The dives are over, now comes the debriefing!<\/p>\n

\"Divers<\/p>\n

\"Sitting
\nSitting near the Captain breaks the wind.<\/p>\n

\"After<\/p>\n

After the Captain threw us off the ship when it docked, the debriefing continued in the parking lot.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Another group shot, I’m to the far right looking as macho as ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
