My new dive buddy
Wed night. Wow i could go on about this one for ever it was so much fun. Let me get the specifics out of the way. If you haven`t been in for a week or more the water got COLD. 73 degrees last Sat, and then 55 degrees on Wed Brrrr! 50 minutes at 44 feet at Shaw`s Cove. Dive buddy was Larry. Now for the cool stuff. On the way in there were 3 of us and Allisyn got real up close and personal with the sand. I love the beach too, but geez Allisyn, actually kissing the sand like that was a bit much. We...

8/11/07 Shaw`s and Crescent
@ dives today. The first was a group dive. I was the most experienced of the 5 so took on the role of dive leader/instructor? Kaitlin had never fed Garibaldi`s before so showed her how so her dad could get some good pictures. 2nd dive just me & Matt. He wanted to spear fish, but never saw anything to shoot....oh well maybe next time....

8/10/07 Diver`s Cove
Went in at Diver`s and Out at Fisherman`s Cove. The top end of the stairs for both are only about 20 feet apart so it`s pretty convienient. I did forget how rocky the bottom is at Fisherman`s and broke a fin. The surf was a little rough on exit there too, because of the way the rocks cause it to break. Vis sucked. 6 feet is being generous. I got mobbed by the Garibaldi. Usually they mob you like that if you feed them, this time, as soon as I hit the reef the surrounded me...pretty cool....

Another Shaws cove dive
7/16/07 Shaw`s cove again. Vis was pretty good, at least 15 ft. Fed the Garibaldis and took pictures. 43 minutes no deeper than 28 feet, but lots of marine life. Crabs, rays, sea cucumbers, fish and more. Surf was almost nil and the tide was out, so it was a really easy entry and exit. Dove with Trace....

Shaw`s Cove 6/8/07
2 dives. Through the crevice at the north end of the cove. Vis was 10-12. It`s pretty surgy in there so unless you`re a pretty strong swimmer and adventerous...stay out. On the way back in saw the giggest Bat Ray ever! From wing tip to tip it was farther than my arms can stretch. Weather was great, LOTS of fish. It was a really fantastic last minute dive....

5/30/07
3 Dives today. All at laguna. Went in at Divers cove and out at Fisherman`s cove on the first. For those who don`t know the tops of the stairs for these two coves are no more than 30 feet apart so it made sense since it did not increase our hump back the the car. (Hump is a term Marines use for a march with all our gear so it makes sense here) The second 2 dives were at Crescent Cove. Vis was 6-10 ft. LOTS of bat rays. It was a good day....
