Gerstle Cove - Mendocino Coast
Fort Ross, CA
Water Type: Salt
Entry Type: Shore
First off Salt Point is in Sonoma County. We decided to Free Dive So. Gerstle Cove because the conditions were very good. No swell, surge or wind too speak of. Vis was at 20’, water temp. at 59F.
I limited on seven (7) dives, my deepest dive was 18’ for 36 seconds. My largest Ab 8.5". Salt Point is still a good dive site for Abs. We didn’t see a lot of fish. Diving is still through the Palm Kelp for the prized Abalone.
