Dive Number: 200 (Not sure actually, but this is a conservative spot to start over at) 11/27/2010 Dive Location: Shaw's Cove, Laguna Beach Dive time: 63 Minutes (am) Max Depth: 41' Water Temp: 55° Visibility: 25+ Description: Dove with Peter at Shaw's Cove today. With conditions as good as they have been these past few days, I could not pass up the opportunity to dive this morning. I may have been a bit over zealous, however, when I packed my camera with strobes and wide-angle lens, as I haven't used my camera in over a year. Since there was "0" serge, Peter and I were able to explore every crevice of Shaw's Cove with ease and deliberate intent. Today we saw a large schools of bait fish ( Reminded me of Finding Nemo), were buzzed by a Sea Lion, found Shelly of Shaw's, and enjoyed a leisurely swim over the open sand, as it was just that nice

(Not so much, All right, Good, Great, Sweetness)

Fun dive w/ Len (pictured next to Shelly of Shaw's). It has been a long time since I dove with Len and it felt good to get back in the water with an old friend. Lots of good stuff including, but not limited to: Sea lions, Nudi Branchs (Is that how you spell it?) Sheep crab, and lots of fish. We even saw some of those rare orange ones, but I can't remeber their names right now. Visibility was better the deeper we went. Overall raiting GREAT, as it was a safe entry and exit, with alot of good stuff to see.

Family day at the beach today. Dove with Pete, Eric, and Papa Wade, while our families played on the beach. Lots of Bat rays. They were rather large and I have heard that means that they are females... I didn't, however, find it polite to ask or look. I have been having some trouble with my camera fogging up, so the pictures are not as good as I hoped. It was a great dive and it felt good to be back in the water again.

Montage 11/28/2007

Night dive w/ Pete at the Montage. Temp was around 58 degrees, with a max depth of around 22'. Pete and I were on the look out for some good photo oportunities. After about 45 minutes, we decided to head back to shore. As we headed in, we found our selves an escort. Not sure how to tell if it were a male or a female and I didn't think it polite to ask, but "it" was the most friendly of all that I have met. This Harbor Seal followed us back to shore until around 4' of water. Dive was around 79 minutes and I thank Pete again for bringing his Light Cannon. Over all Great Dive!
