If you need a dive buddy or just want to say hi, there will be quit a few of the North Coast divers meeting at the BW stairs at 9:00am. Anyone who needs a buddy is welcome to join up for the day. There are no fees or such. Never know they might take you to some of the infamous North Coast dive sites in the future. Unfortunately I am supposed to be the welcoming party this month but I am still pretty sick or I would be there. Jim will be there to greet everyone.
February 4th in Monterey at the Breakwater

How are the conditions today? We're planning to head down tomorrow. Thanks much and happy diving!
Hi KLJ:
Brought two tanks but only did one dive at the breakwater. From Hwy 1 it looked absolutely peaceful. Underwater proved completely different. Visibility along the jetty maxed out at a cloudy 15 feet and there was a very strong surge present even at 40 feet. At one point, I got a good sense of what drift diving could be. Spoke to one diver that visited the Metridium fields and reported 30 feet so it may improve depending on your location. The water action at the shore line was pretty fierce and I saw quite a few get knocked down. Not so much a waves crashing over you, it's just the insane undertow that pulls you back as you're walking out of the water. Felt like walking with someone pulling you backwards with a bungee cord.
Those that went off the boats probably had an easier time than we who went from shore. There was a huge number of divers with their equipment on the grass, just near the stairs. Weather wise, it was absolutely gorgeous with little wind, a high sun and clear skies.
Safe & Happy Diving

Sorry guys. I was delayed getting out this morning and didn't get to breakwater till about 10:30 and didn't see anyone. Met up with a friend of mine though and got some great photos though.
