Incredible weekend at San Miguel/Santa Rosa Islands

[MaxBottomtime]

Conditions looked bad around P.V. this weekend, but fortunately for Merry and me, Captain Andy invited us aboard his charter to San Miguel and Santa Rosa Islands. Too many pictures to post here, but you can read my report at Wreckreational Diving - Incredible Weekend At The Northern Channel Islands
I'll edit Merry's video later and post it tomorrow.

Great Shots Bottomtime! First Anacapa and now San Miguel / Santa Rosa. Looks like your northern Channel Island luck is changing. Thanks for the report.

Sat 02 May, The Skyscraper pinnacle on an X-Scooter, between Wilson & Richardson Rocks, NW of San Miguel, (Northern Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary California). 51m/170' max depth, multi-level to 18m/60', Vytec Computer showed 10min of mandatory deco with ceiling at 3m/10'; viz about 18m/60' with good clarity at depth, varying moderate to strong current at depth & surface, water temperature 9deg C/48deg F; backgas & deco gas was just air mix 21%. . .

Weather and sea state was wild and variable for the two-day trip on the Peace Diveboat: mixture of calm conditions, then fog, rain, gusting 20 knot winds with 4 to 6' swells and finally sunshine on the return back to port on Sat afternoon. . .

We headed for Wilson Rock Saturday but turned around when the wind picked up. It was a little nasty coming back on Sunday.
