Timing the Tide

[carbon]

Well, I made my first beach dive that was purposely timed to occur at slack tide (high tide in this case). I was also blessed with small surf.

As usual, I timed the sets. However on this dive, both the entry and the exit were like strolling into a calm lake. It was great! (no sand to wash out of my gear either!)

Thanks for all of the responses,

It's great to hear that your first experience with a beach dive was a good one! Hopefully, you'll build the experience from here and love beach diving as much as many of us do!

Thanks Christian,

It wasn't my very first beach dive, it was my first beach dive that was pre-arranged to occur when the ocean was "friendly". I usually get thrashed a bit, particularly on the exits -- I'm sure you know, when the ocean makes things more "interesting".

Take care,
Carbon
