Dive #1: Woods Cove, South Laguna
Buddies: Steve S. and Mike H.
Surf: Nada @ High Tide of 7.12
Swell: Nada
Surge: Nada
Viz: 15' to 20' diminished from Friday's dive
Temp: 59' Suunto
Max Depth: 33'
BT: 82' minutos
Entered without incident. Verticle viz looked Awesome! Better than
Friday. Kicked out aways, dropped down in search of the cave that I
found on Friday. No dice. Couldn't seem to find it. I felt that we
were too deep. Perhaps. I know for a fact the entrance was about half
way up the reef in about 15' FSW. Gives me a good reason to go back!
We weren't disappointed by out dive though. Viz was nice and had fun
exploring all of the outer reefs. Usual critters were out; Steve
found a nice sized Moray to top the dive. On the way back in, found a nice
wide open cave that you can go through, but due to surge on the other
side, decided to go around. Due to the fact that this was a new
sighting to me, I decided to surface to see where we were on the reef. Good
thing I did, for we were almost to Cress Street!!! Dropped back down
and did a big turn-around and exited right on target without incident.
Tide was still coming in, for as we were going up, water came right
over the steps chasing our heels.
Dive #2: Cleo Street Barge, South Laguna
Dive Buddy: Mike H.
Surf: Nada
Swell: Nada
Surge: Nada
Viz: 10-15' @ depth; 20'+ in Shallows
Temp: 59' Suunto
Max Depth: 51'
BT: 55 Minutos
Since it was still High Tide, Mike joined me for a dive at Cleo
Street. Was hoping to *maybe* find my Princton Tek Mini Wave Re-Chargeable
dive light. No dice. We did find the barge without any trouble. Viz
has deteriated over the barge since last week, but still a fun dive.
Attempted to get some bugs, again. I really need to give up trying for
bugs during the day. I pulled a 'Steve Schirmer', but even then, no
bugs. LOL (HAD to put that in there Steve...teehee....) Oh what fun
though! The thrill, the excitement!!!
The usual suspects were seen on, under, and over the barge. Even
spotted a lone Tube Anenome.
On our way in, a nice school of Sardines cruised above Mike and I.
Viz in the shallows was Awesome! Just like swimming through an
aquarium. Great photo ops to be had.
Capped the dive off by hanging out at Starbucks and watching the surf
pick up a bit in a gloomy, overcast day.
Watch the conditions, for they look like they might be changing.
Thanks Steve and Mike for coming out to play today!!! ((((HUGS)))
