Point Vicente Fishing Access, Palos Verdes, CA
\n(aka Cardiac Hill)<\/p>\n
Free diving With Ed<\/p>\n
Max depth: About 20 feet
\nWaves: 1-3 foot swells where we went in
\nVisibility: 10-15 feet
\nWater Temperature: Maybe about 60 degrees
\nTotal Ocean Time: 35 minutes or so.<\/p>\n
I spent a great yesterday with my girlfriend and needed to cool off with some free diving today.<\/p>\n
I picked Ed up around 8 AM and headed for Cardiac Hill.<\/p>\n
We geared up and walked down the main trail and entered the water from the rocks to the right.<\/p>\n
To the left, where there is a pebble beach, was getting pounded with some fairly rough swells.<\/p>\n
We both trolled around the reefs and rocks towards the East.<\/p>\n
Aside from a few Garibaldi, we didn’t see any fish.<\/p>\n
I practiced breath hold diving and am getting better and better at it.<\/p>\n
I need a depth gauge and timer to see how long and how deep I can hold my breath.<\/p>\n
I think I may have been a little too buoyant as it was sort of a challenge getting down.<\/p>\n
Ed collected a Sea Cucumber.<\/p>\n
Even though the rocks were slippery, with the ocean being fairly calm on this end and the fact we had no tanks we both exited fairly quickly with no problems.<\/p>\n
Walking out and up, the nearby fishermen were discouraged and packing up, with no fish caught.<\/p>\n
We walked up the trail, giving our fish report to would-be fishermen.<\/p>\n
“What? There’s no fish down there,” they would respond in shock.<\/p>\n
Downing a few beers in the parking lot, we moved to the Old Marineland access lot where there was a big party and barbecue amongst the local divers.<\/p>\n
I believe the “Reef check” group was doing some counting.<\/p>\n
I stopped by Ed’s place for a Korean lunch (steak, rice, kim chi and sea cucumber) and made it home to my really pissed off girlfriend.<\/p>\n
She was suppose to go to church this morning but decided to stay home and wait for me.<\/p>\n
“Diving shouldn’t take seven hours!<\/p>\n
We’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
