You aren't coming with?

What do you all think the crowds will be like Easter Weekend?

I dove there last Fourth of July weekend, it wasn't that busy...

It is still fun....just more likely to get temporarily silted...and need to arrive early for parking. Easter will probably be like a normal weekend at the bridge.

Surprisingly windy today. Blue but milky, vis 20 in the sand, 15 under the pilings, 20 out by the channel. Saw some interesting things including a baby sea robin 4" long, my first couple of bumblebee shrimp! A posing peacock flounder, plus the usual.

Computer said temp was 77 but I think more like 75. Got a little chilled in my 3 mil after 150 minutes in.

So great to be back in the water again!!!!!

Might try again tomorrow.

The parking lot typically fills up with non divers.

Were you east or west?
My computer said 75°, but at one time it also said 73°, but I don't think it was that :cold:

Todays finds.. 4 batfish! A bazillion octopi, almost as many lancer dragonets, and three pike blennies. At separate times, I saw a male and a female free swimming.. woot!

I'm planning to use my 5mm with hood and gloves. Too much?

Sigh... I don't get it. As Dave Barry said, going to the Ocean and not diving is like going to the circus and sitting outside the tent.

T.C., you should be fine with your 5mm and gloves.

Love the Dave Barry quote.
