Off of Margate, Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA
\nSouthern California Buddy Diving with John and Ron off of John’s Zodiac<\/p>\n

In With: 3000 psi
\nOut With: 1200 psi
\nMax depth: 40 feet
\nWaves: Minor chop
\nVisibility: 5-10 feet
\nWater Temperature: Cool
\nTotal Bottom Time: 35 minutes<\/p>\n

The fishing boats had left our preferred spot, so we pulled anchor and moved over there.<\/p>\n

Since I sort of felt guilty about the ease of shooting the Sheephead, I decided to only shoot White Sea Bass.<\/p>\n

I searched and searched.<\/p>\n

The visibility was noticeably siltier than the last dive and I saw considerably less fish.<\/p>\n

I started to get cold and frustrated that nothing big was around to shoot.<\/p>\n

But, I guess that’s why the fishing boats had left the area!<\/p>\n

I got caught a few times going through the kelp, but it broke off easily and I freed myself.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/p>\n

John was back in the boat first, I came in…<\/p>\n

\"Ron<\/p>\n

…and Ron followed about 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

We cracked a few beers and enjoyed the nice first day of July.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

I pose with my trophy – holding the fish closer to the camera makes it look bigger!<\/p>\n

I drank so much beer, that I had to go for a swim to the toilets.\"Gee,<\/p>\n

Gee, where are the toilets again?<\/p>\n

\"Maybe<\/p>\n

Maybe Ron has the same idea?<\/p>\n

\"John,<\/p>\n

John fired up the engine and we were soon on our way back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
