Thanks Christian and Ana! 2nd time I have seen a Jelly cruising around. He was definitly moving along! I wonder how he prevents cramping?

Maybe he reaches down with one tentacle and gently pulls back on another to get a good stretch. Of course, he can do this while continuing at a fast pace since he has so manydivebuddysean:Thanks Christian and Ana! 2nd time I have seen a Jelly cruising around. He was definitly moving along!

Sean,
Would you mind telling me how you save the Suunto dive profiles as jpegs? I'm in total brain lock over that one. Thanks.

Dive Location: Topaz Jetty, Redondo Beach
Time: 7:45 p.m.
Bottom Time:67:20
Max Depth: 77 FSW
Vis: 5 feet above 51 FSW and 20 feet below that, and colder.
Wave height: 2-3 inches
Temp at depth: 61 Suunto degrees (sure felt colder)
Surface Temp: 72 Suunto degrees
Tide information: HIGH 6:02 p.m. 6.0 feet Low tide 11:35 a.m. 3.0 feet.
Comments:
Andy and I met at 7:00 p.m. and suited up. We entered north of the jetty and swam out to the end, taking care to say out of range of the anglers on the jetty. Dropped down and the end of the jetty and swam on a heading of 300 degrees. Visibility was by brail and at best was 5 feet, and were talking about seeing the light here. Eventually we came across a line in the sand. A special thanks to who ever laid out the lines connecting the pier pilings. We were on course and followed it to the pier pilings. They were nice and all covered with pink. California Scorpion fish were in abundance. Also saw a lot of a strange snake like fish with whiskers that when approached buried itself tail first in the sand. From my book it appears these are Spotted Cusk-Ells. At the pilings I felt a firm tug on my body and noticed we were being carried down slope. It took some effort to not be taken into deeper waters at the piling where it dropped of sharply. In any event we left the pilings and went with the flow to 77 feet and tooled around for a bit. With 9 minutes of bottom time remaining we turned the dive at 77 FSW and headed back. Found the pier pilings again and continued on our course for the jetty. Ended the dive in 9 feet of water and had a great time.

Went to the Marine Room last night. Funny thing happened later when looking at
my pictures. I noticed a nice Moray Eel in a picture I took but I didn't see
the eel while on the dive. Check it out!

Date: 8/25/04
Dive Location: La Jolla Shores
Time: 7:30pm
Bottom Time: 38min
Max Depth: 117fsw
Vis: 20ft+
Wave height: 0-1ft
Temp at depth: 57
Surface Temp: 73
Tide information: High
Comments: Met Ryan at Velocitos road, Terry did a drive by as they changed the dive location without notifying us in advance (what is going on here???). Anyway, geared up and swam out to the white buoy. Dropped down to 25fsw, and headed S/W. Hit the canyon wall, dropped to 100fsw and saw a nice size bat ray. Followed it to 117ft and decided that I was not ready to go yet, so turned back to 100fsw. Followed a gentle canyon slope at 100fsw, with not much to see except for a lost sheepcrab that seemed very upset with us shining our light in his eyes. Turned the dive at 1500psi and followed the canyon wall up to the ridge that was heavily inhabited with Black-eyed Cobies. Must be "the place" to get real estate down there. On the sand plateau, back to the shores we saw two white stripped nudibranch's, a Halibut, and lots of Turbots. Nice easy dive with good viz and warm water. Afterwards, we met at California Pizza Kitchen to discuss the relevance of AOW course with regard to a diver that has over a hundred dives, which includes deep, wreck and night dives.............

Since neither Ryan nor me have a camera, we will have to wait till they develop the technology to hook up the Internet to my brain for the pictures.

Great report Roy! I think you guys saw the nudibranch California Armina down there.
We didn't see any Turbots or sandabs in the Marine Room. Maybe those
big Kelp Bass or the Cormorant birds would eat such easy targets (the sandabs).

Well I logged in to see some beautiful pictures from your dive last night Sean...where are they?! Guess since you are being more specific about color you must take more time huh?
