August Wrinkles Dive II (Return to Crescent Bay)

[Robert Phillips]

Anna, I will be making a foray to Deadmans on Wednesday, so I will not get us lost again. I think you just had my head all spun around and I didn't know which way to go
August 22 is my diving Sunday too! Hopefully we will have as good conditions then.

I was looking at the divebums Marine Room info and here it is:

Option 3: Put on your scuba gear, and go out straight and a bit to the right. Go out about as far as you would go out for La Jolla Shores. Look for a white 5 MPH buoy, and go out about even with the buoy. Drop down into 20 - 30' of water and head west until you hit the canyon. If you then turn left and don't dawdle, you can actually round the corner at the inshore end of the canyon and will end up going back out into the ocean, to surface on the southwest side of the canyon out in the middle of the ocean. If you turn right, you can work your way along the canyon towards the same walls you would encounter doing a La Jolla Shores South Walls dive.

It says go "a bit to the right" which we did not do.... But then it says "Go west" which we did!!! I really want to do the marine room canyon... Let me know who's up for a 2nd try!!!

Our group leader tried valiently to lead us to deadman's.... We should have broken up into 2 people teams and each done our own dive plans. The vis was so great though we could dive in a big group like that. I was just there again this afternoon and the vis was DOWN significantly. The swells were big as we kicked out. Hopefully it'll be good for the 22.

So, same game plan, 07:30 a.m. 22 Aug 2004 at Crecent Bay. Bring 2 tanks and have a great day. Dive deanmans, rest and SI, then dive Seal Rock and lunch. Sounds good to me.

I'm up for another try! I go back to school starting next week - so I'll have to do evening dives or weekend dives from then on.

This is true. Pasley and I have seen similiar things on a few dives, one at deadmans (or near it) I think 4 others at Cleo St. I love that brown nasty sand.

I'll be there the 22nd. I'll make it to lunch this time. Maybe we should order pizzas at the beach ???

Looks like a dive may be coming together in San Diego early Sunday morning. Check the 'Midweek LJ Dive' thread...
