Purple Urchin removal Project 2025

[Eric Sedletzky]

Good Saturday afternoon urchin divers,

This weekend doesn't look very good
6'x18's direct west swell is not good for working on the bottom with that amount of surge.
We'll look at it for next Sunday

A point I'd like to mention, If you have not purchased your CA fishing license for 2025 yet, don't buy it until the day before you know we're going out because they are valid for one year from the date of purchase, not for the calendar year. So wait till you need it and you'll get more license for the money.
Also, I want everyone to be ready and prepared as well as possible for urchin diving before we show up to the site the morning of the dive.
So if you have any questions, concerns, or anything to do with urchin diving please ask away.
The only silly question is the one not asked.

We are still going to have a Saturday afternoon free urchin diving seminar at the dive shop which I weill set a date and post.
When we get rolling this spring we will have our gear raffle give away at the dives, so if you're in need if gear make sure to show up so you have a chance to get some of it. There's some good stuff!

Thanks!
Eric

Hello Purps!
I'm looking forward to productive dives at Stillwater this year. The ocean conditions have not been cooperating this winter but the fair weather will come! Linda and I will be dong some traveling - sampling the diving opportunities in Japan! So, we will not be around until late April but I will be looking forward to getting back to Stillwater. I have been thinking about team urchin collecting techniques we might use to up our productivity. Anyway, be well. I'll see you in April! -Ted
