So here is my first attempt at putting these up on here. I dont have cool pictures yet though, maybe some day. I didn't want to overwhelm this post so if you want to read the full thing just go to my site below.
This morning we arrived at San Carlos Beach at about 9:00AM. Jeff had to pickup his two 95CF tanks from MBDC and I had to stop by Aquarius II to see if my new tank has come in yet. Unfortunately it has not yet arrived, so they gave me a 95CF tank to use for the weekend, which was nice. The surf wasn’t very bad at all. Plus there was very little surge on this dive.
Jeff and I then started assembling our gear and getting ready to go for our dive. The plan was to go out in line with Reedside and try to find the big pipe. Once on the pipe we were going to follow it out as long as our air would allow. I was pretty impressed with how far out the tide was today as well. Low tide was around 10:15AM and it was way out.
DIVE #5: 42′Depth for 00:35 minutes with 52F water temperatures. We had again about 10-15′ vis.
For our second dive we had planned to do the Breakwater Wall. We had a decent surface interval, however had we spent one more minute (1:17 instead of the 1:16) we could have been into another pressure group. Oh well
. The tide was still out quite a way so it made for a bit of a walk and again a bit of a swim to actually get some depth under us. On our way back out there quite a bit of surge along the wall that made it somewhat difficult to be in while trying to stay close to the wall.
All in all it was a successful sixth dive for us. I was a little overly anxious to explore in and around all of the rocks and my air went down fairly quickly. Thats no problem though because we have plenty of other days this weekend to go diving (this weekend for me is Friday-Monday).
DIVE #6: 42′ Depth for 00:36 minutes with 52F water temperatures. We had again about 10-15′ vis. No we didn’t really plan on having this dive almost be identical in depth and duration.
