I competed in the Copa Pacifica Ultimate Jiu Jitsu Death Match last week, so I sold my March 2nd tickets.<\/p>\n
However, the boat was canceled and I bought another ticket on tonight’s boat from someone who couldn’t make the makeup.<\/p>\n
Me, Dan, Bob, Jim P, Walt and a sixth diver… I can’t remember his name were on the boat.<\/p>\n
Anyway, apparently divers are catching lobsters shallow again, so Dan suggested that we try a shallower secret spot.<\/p>\n
I was the second overboard.<\/p>\n
It was colder than I thought; I later found out that the water was 53 degrees Fahrenheit at depth and 57 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface.<\/p>\n
I got an “ice cream headache” going down.<\/p>\n
I grabbed two shorts and kept looking.<\/p>\n
This place has many reefs and rocks and the kelp was pretty thick.<\/p>\n
Lots of surge…<\/p>\n
I kept almost running into reefs looking at the bottom for bugs.<\/p>\n
Thirty minutes of fighting the surge and kelp, I surfaced and headed for the boat.<\/p>\n
I crawled over a lot of kelp.<\/p>\n
I tried submerging and swimming underneath the kelp, but I kept getting caught.<\/p>\n
When I boarded, I had so much kelp caught on me that Captain Alec asked, “Do you have a license to harvest all that kelp?”<\/p>\n
Some other divers hauled up an anchor that they found.<\/p>\n
Dan and a few others caught one or two bugs.<\/p>\n
Bob came up empty handed, so I didn’t feel so bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
