Humboldt June 3 dive report

[KelpWolf]

Normally the water is pea soup or chocolate milk up here. Today, however, was a brilliant exception. A friend and I went out for an afternoon dive near Trinidad, CA. The vis was spotty between 10 and 20 feet. We got into some VW bug-sized boulders--excellent structure--and saw many ling cod and HUGE black rock fish. I bagged two lings (one of which is a personal best), a black, and a blue rockfish. My dive buddy got a ling, and two very nice cabezon--another personal best there. All in all it was a beautiful day diving. We saw many colorful fish, sculpins and several abalone too.

hopefully the visibility will hold for a few days. Can't wait to get out again. Pictures hopefully will be coming.

cheers,

I'd love to see those pics. How often do you get decent viz?

 

[KelpWolf]

Not the best pictures. But that's what you get when you set a timer.

I can count the days of great visibility on one or two hands. Good vis up here is 4-7 ft--that comes along maybe a couple days every few weeks or so. cheers,

And I thought that we had bad vis over here, 4-7 feet every few weeks and only for a couple of days if you’re lucky, fair play mate and well done on the fish.
