Our objective was to survey the Vallecitos area, crap patch and Lion’s den and check for changes due to the last storm. U... (more) |

Marineland Trail And Beach Damage Report (by MaxBottomtime) Reports of the demise of Marineland have been greatly exaggerated. The caution tape was removed from the trails, although the signs were still up. That didn't seem to keep anyone out today. The trails to the coves and point were not as compacted as they once were, but they were in good shape. No ruts, mud nor sections washed away. It was ... (more) |

Yellow Banks, Santa Cruz Island (by MaxBottomtime) All of the swell models predicted 10-17 feet swells at Ventura Harbor yesterday. When Captain John Bibb invited us to go along on a trip to Santa Cruz Island I thought we would pack up the boat, get to Malibu and turn around. There was high enough surf to make the throng of surfers happy, but beyond the surf zone was a calm enough sea to ... (more) |

Star Of Scotland Compilation (by MaxBottomtime) While the dive conditions were poor on Sunday I took the time to edit footage from our dives on the Star of Scotland wreck last year. |

First Marineland Dive Of The Year (by MaxBottomtime) We've had a couple of days of seven foot high tides, so I expected a relatively easy entry at the point and great visibility. The entry wasn't bad, but vis was a murky ten to twelve feet throughout the dive. I dropped into 75 feet hoping to find some unusual animals but everyone seemed to be hiding. I made my way back up to Ted's Pinnacle... (more) |

Dirty Day In The Bay (by MaxBottomtime) Merry and I joined Captains Andy and Patrick aboard the Moby Kate for a few dives in Santa Monica Bay this morning. We've been spoiled all year by great visibility and unusual large fish encounters, but today was more like the way I remember the bay. We had limited visibility on the outfall pipe and elevated pipe, and hardly any visibilit... (more) |

Surge, Sand And A Surprise At Marineland (by MaxBottomtime) Our boat dives were cancelled this morning so we headed over to Marineland. We planned to dive from a boat, so we didn't bring the wagon. We met Rick and Susie Coleman in the parking lot, and Rick was kind enough to carry Merry's weightbelt down to the cove. Huge thanks to Rick. The entry was a bit dicey with the incoming tide. Merry tol... (more) |

Marineland At High Tide (by MaxBottomtime) I joined Lee Zaro and Angelique "Baby Killer" Neugent for a dive at the point this morning. Lee showed me his secret entry spot, but it was submerged. I entered near it and was able to get in without clanging my tank or face on any shallow rocks. Much easier entry than Ted's Rock. We made a kelp crawl to the outer edge of the r... (more) |

Sandy Dunkin' (by MaxBottomtime) Merry and I made another venture out in the sand at Marineland this afternoon. We've had luck the last couple of dives out there finding unusual critters and today was no exception. The first half of the dive was pretty boring. Sand anemones, seapens, sea atars and not much else. Windmill worms were everywhere, some with an interestin... (more) |
