Dive Report 7/21, Pt. Lobos: Beto’s Reef
I finally got a camera, so I can now make dive reports that might be worth reading. Ben B (Biznate) took the day off work, which meant I finally had a Monday dive buddy. Ben and I have dove together a couple times at Breakwater, but he had only been to Lobos one previous time.
Ben wanted to take advantage of his double tanks and plan a longer, deeper dive. Reports over the weekend from Team Kitty sounded positive, so we decided to plan a dive to Beto’s Reef.
Both Ben and I needed fills Monday morning, so we started off a bit late. Due to a drysuit issue, Ben also had to stop by MBDC to rent a drysuit. We rolled into Lobos a little after 11AM. I was a little worried about getting a spot so late in the day during the summer (though I’ve only had trouble on one Monday at Lobos), but it turned out we were Team #1, and wound up being the only divers in the park for the day.
Our initial plan was to scooter out to Beto’s, but the scooter Ben was using had some problems. We decided to clip his scooter off and surface tow through the sand channel, drop and kick out to the site.
In the end, we had a great dive. Vis was great, the conditions were great and we had a fun dive. Max Depth: 101’ Total dive time: 87 minutes Temp 51. Some pics and video are included for your viewing pleasure:
Sure, you’ve seen them before, but what’s a dive report without some surface pics?

Ben: “If I kick fast enough, I can pretend I’m scootering”
I swear There was a fish here when I clicked the shutter…
There he is, must be camera shy
