Dive Report: Montage Resort, South Laguna Beach California

 Montage Resort, South Laguna Beach California

Sunday, Nov. 18 2007

 Surf:  0-1'
  Swell:  minimal
  Surge:  moderate to heavy in some areas
  Viz:  Whiteout to 10'
  Temp:  61 Suunto
  Max Depth:  28'
  BT:  75"
  
  I too made a dive at Montage today.  However, by the time I went out,
Viz declined dramatically with lots of surge and particulate in the
water near the S/W side of the reef.  I was able to find refuge in the
usual caves, overhangs, and tunnels and pleasantly suprised by finding
new ones as well.
  
  As Debra pointed out, Montage was an abundance of marine life today.
  I saw the largest Octopuss that I have ever seen, curled up inside a
crevice, he was about the size of a dinner plate; spotted three more
octopi; 3 Moray Eels greeted me as I searched crevices for bugs; cleaner
shrimp; scallops; opal eye, surf perch, barred sand bass, sea cukes,
sea hares, and dozens upon dozens of Spanish Shawls spotted the reefs.
  
  Easy In, Easy out.  I just love days like this!!!
