1/17 Did a couple of fun dives at BW today. Headed out with Ben V in doubs . Vis was about 15ft, swell was down.
The storm warning seemed to scare divers out of the water. By afternoon it was raining but the swell had died down & we had BW to ourselves for dive 2

1/15 Dove Lobos today with Kenn and later Erik. Small swell and perhaps 25+ ft vis by HITW. Beautiful day topside!
Dive one - Had a great dive kicking out to Lone Metridium, around HITW and Middle Reef with Kenn in doubles - max depth 70ft, dive time 89 minutes. Sure these huge tanks are pretty heavy and it's lots to get use to but I love the redundancy of carrying two tanks on my back - it feels so reassuring to have the backup

Weather did not cooperate with my diving plans this week 
. Missed some chances to slip into the water with Kenn & am passing on the sketchy ferry ride to Catalina . But when the going gets tough, the tough get creative so while swell pounded the coast I hopped into the pool a couple days for much needed sessions to work out some kinks with the new doubles & am looking forward to some local diving this weekend!
It seems that proper weighting/trim is a complicated subject. I though I was foot heavy, but (Thanks Kenn for showing me I was actually head heavy & compensating!!) just before I started heaping more weight on the top of my rig (which is a common mistake)! Great buddies are a great thing

The boats are running, the sky is blue and the sun is out here on Catalina. Now aren't you sorry you canceled your trip here? I didn't think so!
