August 7, 2009 – The Road
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 not more. On the Road, it is even better. When I turn the dive at one of the pinnacles, AG can only look at me in disbelief and wave his arms in frustration. The views are amazing – schools of rockfish, light penetrating to 130′, and calm waters.
Well, when he wants to buy me a rebreather, then we can stay out longer. Until then, I have gas limits to adhere to.
Using 1:1 Ratio Deco, our schedule is
70′ 1
60′ 1
50 2
40 3
30 5
20′ 10 min
5 up

Side mounting looks very interesting – I stumbled onto the concept one day when I was really jonesing to get wet – I grabbed my backplate and an S80 stage bottle and hit the pool just to cool off and relax for a few minutes. I was amazed at the freedom I felt and was actually stoked to have a little fun with it. Thanks for the write up on the razor and the coldwater report.
