Met up with Erik and Elissa to dive Pt. Lobos. Our initial plan was to do two dives, first one to Granite Point wall and the second dive passed Lone Metridium. The goal was to get the team familiar with the major navigational landmarks.
After meeting Matt and Leah in the parking lot, we [...]
AG and I meet up to dive The Road at Pt. Lobos in Carmel. As we roll into Carmel, Monastery welcomes us with mirror flatness.
We dove together on Tuesday, and visibility was at best 20′. Today, we hope for better conditions, receive it.
At the Three Sisters, visibility is easily 40′ if [...]
Tuesday morning, I’m at the computer (surprise, surprise) and I get an early email from Kenn looking to dive. Sure I had errands to run, a bathroom to demo, and dinner plans in the evening, but who am I to resist?
Turned out to be a spectacular day of diving. Topside was sunny and [...]
This past Sunday, first hand reports and the swell models kept us home. On Monday, MAV was visiting Monterey for the first time so we scheduled to dive together. I crossed my fingers as the Monday and Tuesday swell reports where not spectacular. They were a significant improvement over the weekend though.
Monday, [...]
Maui holds a special place in our heart as it was the place of our first scuba “a-ha” moment. Five years ago, as we drifted weightlessly around the back wall of Molokini, both Elissa and I knew that scuba diving was for us.
As a shake down dive, we chose Ulua Beach on the recommendations [...]
This past week has been spectacular. The cold upwelling has provided us a week of great visibility. At deeper depths, viz is easily 60+.
The original plan was to dive with Mike G and help him sort his gear. Unfortunately for Mike, Dan showed up with his small inflatable and promised Great Pinnacle. [...]
Today, Kevin and I meet up with some friendly UTD divers visiting from SoCal. It’s their first trip to Pt. Lobos, and Kevin and I are eager to show them a good time.
By the time I arrive at 8:30am the parking lot is already full of divers. It’s one of those rare Fridays [...]
After last week’s premature dead scooter incident, Elissa and I were eager to revisit Beto’s Reef. Kevin joined us today, and I had plans to make him lead the way. Not only did I want to test a new scooter mount for my point-in-shoot camera, but I was interested in his path to [...]
This Tuesday, dove with Mike G. Since Mike has never lead at Lobos, we agreed that he should lead both dives today. Mike dives single HP100s, so I had the opportunity to dive my single LP80s.
Surface conditions were great – calm waters, little surge, and beautiful sun beaming down. In the water, [...]
Instead of writing my own, just going to link to Mike Mill’s dive report.
