Dive Reports for December 03 Southern California. IF you dive, please post a report for the rest of us.
 
Time of dive: 6:00 pm
Depth: 0-19 ft
Vis: 1-10 ft
Water temp: 56 f
Bottom Time: 76 min

Easy dive, nice and relaxing. Found a pier gig, (a weighted, giant treble hook), and a jig that must have been lost today, (no rust anywhere). Octopus, Halibut, turbot, stingray. Walked out on the beach, startled a couple making out by the water.
 
Nov. 31, 9pm, Dana Point Reef/Salt Creek Bouy.

Very nice night on the surface last night.
Dropped down to 60' and the vis was an outstanding 1-2 feet with incredible surges of 8-10 feet. Practically had to hold hands with my dive buddy so we would not become separated.

2 bugs, 26 minutes, 54 degrees, ripped wetsuit from slamming the rocks down below. Looks like a storm is brewin.

Talk to you later, Kyle
 
11/28 & 11/29: San Clemente

Dove Little Flower, Fish Hook and Dave's Reef. All sites were great, viz in excess of 40ft, water temp around 55 Suunto degrees at 100ft. Dove Dave's Reef for the first time, both during day time and night time. Great site.

11/30: Catalina

Dove Eagle's Nest. Reminded me of the conditions we had in July. Viz was 15ft tops, surge starting at 85ft and up! Temp was 61° at 100ft (but I really don't believe that one). Terrible conditions.
 
Waves about 1 foot, water clear and visibility apparently about 20 feet or so. Great day for diving. Forced to abort due to BC malfunction of dive buddies gear.
 
Redondo Canyon

59 degrees top to bottom
40-50 foot viz
2-3 foot surf, easy if you time it, hard if you don't
relatively calm and little surge

sarcastic fringeheads, squids, octopus pulling a squid into its hole, thornback ray, shovelnose guitarfish, sheep crab orgy

all in all a good dive, except for the 6 SEAL BOMBS that sound like M80s inside your head.,...... at 80 fsw.....in the dark

Geez, that is scary

Chris
 
Can you tell us more about the seal bombs?
