Monterey conditions. (let's keep it going )

[ACHiPo]

I generally deal with Aquarius, off HWY-1 at Del Monte, in Monterey, though don't quite know what they have in their rental fleet, and frankly don't even know what a "semi-dry suit" happens to be (what -- is that like semiautomatic or semi-pregnant?). Any decent-fitting 7 mm wetsuit should just be fine, while actively swimming, which is what I typically use, since my current drysuit has a zipper across the back -- yeah, there's a brilliant gaffe -- and is a drag to use, if diving solo, which I frequently do . . .

Thanks. It seems I will make do with a 7 mm wetsuit rental—nobody rents semi-dry. I was fitted yesterday and have a pool session booked in January to figure our weighting and trim.

Lobos was spectacular on Monday, hoping it will be again tomorrow!

Are those Hockey fins?
Took me a minute to figure out that image...

Ha ha. Yeah that rig is not typical for around these parts.

Fins are slipstreams

Heading down this weekend to dive and work with some classes. Anyone have a clue on how conditions are shaping up? Looks like there may be some wave activity and swell, but just wanted to see if anyone is hearing/seeing something different.

Happy bubble blowing!

I was down there yesterday, running errands, and the reports from the Monterey side, at least, were less than five feet.

It was relatively flat, though, along Cannery Row -- but the waves hitting Pt. Pinos, were clearly visible from HWY-1 . . .

Can you drop a link to these cams when you get a chance?
