Peter, it could also be that Paula is just tougher than we are.

that was great, Lobos is such a magical place, that just sealed it. Even the park ranger was a bit peeved he didn't get to see. When he came by to chat I asked if he got to see the dolphins (he was talking about an osprey that's back) and he said, if I hear one more person ask me about the dolphins again!!! A bit frustrated he didn't catch a glimpse of them. Too bad no one was in the water at the time, though I doubt they could've seen them unless they were riding them.
Paula, you're welcome, not a problem at all.

Paula when are you going to buy a drysuit and be warm? Michelle needs to keep working on you

Oh, I will.

Yeah, she's got a really good system to keep warm between dives. She always does both dives on the Sanc and hangs out on top when we're moving. I still think she'd be happier in a drysuit though.

Kristina,

Have you dove with dolphins? In Aug this year I dove Lobos and as I was leaving the cove, I picked up a sudden movement to my left about 12 yards away...

I noticed a large dorsal fin break the water, large dorsal fin, and then it submerged again with a grace... My body registered many thoughts but kept saying, "it's a dolphin, it's just a dolphin,,, hello nice dolphin,,, bye nice dolphin".

We ended the dive without a chance of seeing it underwater, but I will tell you this, they don't look like anything the TV show Flipper made them be, cute and a nice grey color...

This dolphin had barnacles and lots of spots and looked like Flipper on steriods... I can laugh about it now....

Man, wish I could have been there. But my back and my car were both saying no

Sissy Diver!!!!

 

[mikemill]

For some reason I didn't want to deal with probably needing another jump for the car. I also thought that not being able to bend over might make diving a little unsafe. I dunno, that's just me

You didn't miss anything. wasn't the day to dive Lobos.
I actually got a chance to walk the trail and see a part of the park I've never seen before.

Dead battery eh Mike? Did you leave something on? What year is your car? Occasionally a battery just fails.

We were the only dive team to show up last year, except I took the entire family and hiked most of Lobos. Awesome place to hike. I wonder how many divers have never even driven to the other side of the park?
