Sounds like a day full of information...I might have to make the drive....I been diving your reef recently and it still pretty nice...any pointers on it...

 

[Sam Miller III]

I do not know what reef you were diving..There are a number of diveable reefs in this area.

You and yours are welcome to return and dive some more

The conference is the only event in California you can obtain this type of information by attending a one day of lectures presented by recognized diving experts.

On Sunday Kirby-Morgan will be hoisting an open house at the national training center 20 miles south in Santa Maria-an opportunity to see and possibly jump the KB masks.

Im sorry ....Miller reef outside of woods cove...

 

[Sam Miller III]

Good ole Miller's reef.. (I should have never mentioned it to Dale Schelker)....My private hunting grounds for so many years! In the days (years!) of plenitful game it was very productive.
I alway dove it in the winter when the previaling swells came in from the north and of course at first light so it remained a secret.

I suspect it is still seldom dove..the average diver just won't or can't swim that far.
