I got up early and put all my gear together, including the strobe replacement and the broken pony buckle. After getting the gear ready I headed to the jetties expecting no one to be there to dive with. I got a good parking spot, geared up, and headed across the sand. When I got to the water, I found a buddy to dive with. Trever was there and we joined forces to enter the emerald abyss (all 55' of it anyway ). The water temperature dropped from my last dive - it was 76 degrees (had been 83). I was still comfortable with no wet suit so all was well. I would give the viz a 25' - 30' with haze. The usual fish and crabs were out in force. I saw my first SHARK while diving today - of course it was dead and providing lunch for several of the local creatures. We got all the way out past the second anchor and turned the dive. We got back on the North side of the finger jetty and I still had some air to get rid of so we played around a little with the pinfish who returned the favor as we ended the dive. I was standing in the shallow area talking to Trever and the pinfish attacked my feet. I guess they thought my veins looked like worms or something. Those buggars can sting when they get up a good head of steam! I floated my way back to the entrance and did the walk across the sand thing. I went to ScubaTech to get a tank fill and Trever was there too. Are you following me?????
It was a good dive today, can't wait till Saturday. Sorry, no pictures because the gallery and attachments are still down.
