Diving The Palos Verdes Peninsula

[MaxBottomtime]

Thank you, and everyone else for all the nice compliments. I had written enough for 36 sites and for the past several months have been trying to get wide angle shots from them. I couldn't just fill the book with nudibranchs and say they were from the missing sites. Most of the other sites are deep shipwrecks. Each time I dived them I had two feet or less visibility. It was getting really frustrating. There was a thread a couple months ago on Scubaboard about writing books. It made me feel that I had to hurry or someone else would beat me to the punch. I've been waiting for more than two decades for somebody to put out a P.V. guide.
It may be another year or two..or three before I'm able to get decent shots from the UB88, Caissons, Jenny Lynne and other sites, so I decided to include only the sites within recreational depths for now. There are, of course more than 25 sites to dive in Palos Verdes and I hope to not only learn more about them, but to share them with others.

Be looking forward to it. I sympathize with the fear of getting beat on a specialty subject. There's going to be an enthusiastic but limited market for books on specific dive sites and one doesn't want to be the guy who writes the "second" book...
