Night Diving, Solo Diving – So Cal Buddy Diving with the Divevets off of the Island Diver boat<\/p>\n

In With: 2900 psi
\nOut With: 1200 psi
\nMax depth: 55 feet or so
\nWaves: Pretty flat with occasional chop
\nVisibility: 20 feet
\nWater Temperature: Cool, in some places cold
\nTotal Bottom Time: About 30 minutes<\/p>\n

Now for the second dive at a “new” spot that the Captain in training recommended.<\/p>\n

The Captain in training is not a diver, but he knows of this spot as a “good place to fish.”<\/p>\n

I was out of the water for an hour by the time we reached this spot.<\/p>\n

I was afraid that I went deeper last dive than what my gauge showed.<\/p>\n

It took a long time to get back up and my depth gauge was stuck on 90 feet.<\/p>\n

I decided to play it safe and cut my bottom time on this dive to a little over half of what it could be.<\/p>\n

I was the first over board and promptly submerged.<\/p>\n

I swam towards shore after hitting bottom at about 50 feet.<\/p>\n

I trolled and trolled… the kelp was sparse.<\/p>\n

There was suppose to be a metal artificial reef, but I never found it.<\/p>\n

The bottom looks interesting with rocks and a variety of sea life, but I was looking for lobster.<\/p>\n

I ran across one and pinned it.<\/p>\n

It was about a quarter inch too short, I threw it back.<\/p>\n

I think a few other divers must have caught and released that same lobster as everyone reported catching one short.<\/p>\n

That poor thing must be traumatized.<\/p>\n

I went back and boarded after doing a three minute safety stop.<\/p>\n

Everybody gave the Captain in training a hard time for wasting our time here.<\/p>\n

Heavy debriefing followed on the boat…\"Party
\n…and in the parking lot…<\/p>\n

\"Parking<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

I pose with my stash of lobsters.<\/p>\n

I made it a point to be brief in whatever I said – I didn’t want to bore anyone this time around.<\/p>\n

One of the divers, who dives with a dry suit, was explaining how he rigged a suit urinal with tubing and a condom.<\/p>\n

During the conversation he whipped his dick out to show us his set up.<\/p>\n

He said, “I bet you didn’t expect that one, did you?”<\/p>\n

Uh, no, we didn’t!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
