Mesa lane dive 9/2 tue

[TroupH2O]

Count me in. Is this the location known as "thousand steps"? 250 x 4 trips = 1000.

Yea, I believe so. I'm glad you are joining us... Welcome to Scuba Board

Must be time for the dive computer battery to start failing (again).

What was wrong with the last fins? Did the rescue instructor finally sell you on a non-split fin pair?

 

[FishNut]

Haha NO I love my Spits. Oh any one want to buy One apollo Split fin

I went ahead and dove Hendry's and swam east towards 1000 steps. Visibility was great, 15-20 ft, but there was absolutely nothing to see. I decided to not turn back and just walk back once I ran out of air and just as I reached the surface I found all sorts of kelp. I didn't have enough air to comfortably dive back down so I couldn't see below the kelp and I was forced to swim in through it. It took me nearly 30 minutes to cut, pull, dig, swim my way through it. Nasty, nasty stuff at the surface.

Nothing like exploring the kelp for the topside... At least you'll find it next time. How far down from the steps did you end up? Sounds like a healthy hike back to the car.

Sorry I missed the dive. My stomach was doing some bad things that day.
