Bw 4/9

[mech]

Anybody else see some of the madness there that day?
The water was pretty darn rough.
My buddy (Mark)and I did a 4:00am night dive there.
It sucked so bad we thumbed it after 15-20 minutes.
Mark then went on to rescue/help out about 8 overwhelmed divers.
The CG had to rescue a class.
I think Mark actually helped out their instructor at least once.
We would have bought him a Superman tee shirt if Aquarious carried them.
It was a great day to watch what not to do.

I was supposed to be there, I watch Chuck's site every day and knew to save my gas. Actually i use Chuck's site and the NOAA report for monterey. This weekend looks to be doable.

Use those and you are likely to not miss the good weekends and be less likely to waste the gas on the bad weekends.

Sorry Andy but isn't diving at 4:00 AM with "pretty darn rough" conditions madness as well?

Busted and guilty as charged.
I actually love doing them 4:00-5:00am dives.
No crowds,excellent parking,hop in in the dark,exit 90 minutes later in the light,do another dive or 2 and home by noon or so.
I normally wake up at 4:30 any way so it aint that bad.
Them early dives have the most going on as far as critters on the move.
I see more at this time than any other time.
Waves were kinda rough.
Best idea would have been coffee instead .

Cool! Hard core my friend. What's up (meaning awake) in terms of critters? Please share becuase there 'aint a hope in hell that I'll ever be up that early.

I"ll be there this weekend again, weather still looking alright.

Ya the even better part about diving the B/W at that time of the morning, is the meter maid isn't even awake yet, and you have free parking for at least two dives.

If anybody needs a buddy for Sat., let me know. I'd love to get a dive or two in, but my buddy is working (and I think she also secretly hates diving in cold water).

Breakwater at 4am is out of the question, however.
