August 11th Urchin Dive Report

[Eric Sedletzky]

We broke an all time record on Sunday.
16 divers total including one freediver, we landed 1,638 lbs. of purple urchins. We had a large shore support group, thank you!
Our divers did a fantastic job!
Scott, the tri tip was awesome!! Hands down best I’ve ever had!
Here are a few stills and videos of the day.

With all those people you're a folk band away from a festival

Thanks. It's currently crunch time for me at work, so I'm not gonna be able to go to one for a couple of months. Are y'all out there in the winter too, or just the summer?

We’re out there year around. If a dive gets blown out we just keep pushing it forward one week until it happens, then we keep planning them weekly.
If you have any more questions about gear etc. please let me know. Most of us use wetsuits because it can be high contact diving. A lot of it is in and around structure with surge so you will get thrown around. We are working pretty shallow 5’ - 15’ right now so it can be surgy.
Later when the shallows are cleared we will move out to deeper water.
