Living in S. California, I find shore diving to be a great way to get some dive time without spending a load of money, especially while saving up for the big gear purchase. I'm seeking advice on best techniques for beach entry/exit in light surf (say 2 to 4 ft). I always seem to get rolled by a well-timed breaker on at least one entry or exit. Not fun.
Here's what I'm doing: BC fully deflated; no mask on face or reg in mouth; fins in one hand; time the wave sets; lean sideways into a breaking wave in a kind of "sumo wrestler position"; hope for the best. As I say, I bat about .750, which is great for baseball, but not so hot for beach diving. Plus getting the washing machine treatment is fatiguing.
Any advice would be most appreciated.
