Dive Report 31 October


Carrie, Bill (an open water student), and I arrived early for our Sunday afternoon dive anticipating a parking challenge, but parking was easy. There were no where near as many picnickers as there are in the summer. A bus full of eager open water students set up gear next to us at least giving us a "heads up" about what not to expect in terms of vis. But even before the kids entered the water we were aware that it had fallen off significantly from the thirty feet it was yesterday down to about ten to fifteen feet. It was pretty milky. The water temperature remained at seventy-nine which for me in my 5mm was very comfortable. Carrie in a 3mm fullsuit was quite chilled after our one hour, nineteen minute dive. We saw several little eels, most of which were spotted eels. The photograph is Bill's. A big school of intermediate horse-eye jacks hunted under the fishing pier not caring at all about our proximity to them. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon of diving! Get in the water, Ham
