Dive Report: North Cresent Bay Pinnacles and Shallows

Posted in Unspecified

Happy Pre-Thanksgiving!!!
  
  The tradition is holding true...AWESOME VIZ!!!
  
  North Cresent Shallows and Pinnacles
  
  Surf:  Nada
  Swell:  Nada
  Surge: Nada to minimal in the 'Wee Shallows'
  Temp:  61' Suunto
  Max Depth:  31'
  Bottom Time:  75"
  Viz:  40' easily decreasing and holding steady at 15' near Seal Rock
  
  Census is low, so got off work early.  Decided to make a dive before
picking up DS from school.  I wasn't disappointed!
  
  Dropping down into 8' FSW, I spotted 4 Octopi immediately, two that
were out over the rocks, Bugs, Spanish Shawls, Moray Eels, and the usual
suspects.
  
  The highlight of my dive was diving through a school of California
Baracuda's!!!  Awesome!!!  I had to check myself to make sure that I was
diving in Laguna and not Catalina or SBI.
   
  The chill factor set in and turned around to head back.  In about 15'
FSW, I bumped into another diver that sadly pointed out to me that a
Bull Sea Lion was decesased.  He hadn[t been in the water too long.  I
noticed some thin scrapings on his backside, but appeared to be more
superfiscial.  Not sure what the cause of death could have been.
  
  Get out there and dive while the diving's good!
