For Anna and all…
Hard to believe that time has escaped me once again and it has been sooooo… long since my last post. Anyway we had a great time last weekend with the weather finally starting to get nice.
We started Saturday at Red Buoy at Eagle Reef and the jelly fish were so thick that it affected the vis for the first 30 or so feet. Then we went over to “Hidden Reef” where the Vis was much better and had several divers that had never dived there before, although they had been diving for over 20 years. It is an underwater mountain between “Bird Rock” and “Ship Rock” starting at about 60’ and going down to the bottom. Then over to “Eel Cove” for the 2 dives with calm waters and a following sea for the trip home.
Sunday we went out to “Santa Barbara Island” and for the first dive we dove the “Arch”. It was a little surge so we moved around the island to “Arch Point” and made the second dive. Then we moved over to the rookery for the last dive with the sea lions. Again we headed home with calm seas and a following wind.

Until next time……….
