So after diving in the rain on friday, i was sick as a dog on Monday. Any connection??? It was well worth it though. So now that the rain has stopped saturday night, anyone for diving on friday? That should give enough time to let the bugs die off.

BTW I went out on the HB pier this morning. Calm seas, 2-4 swells. Offshore wind to help with the visibility. Maybe 5-10 foot of vis.

The forcast for thursday is 1-1 foot waves. That will definately help with the visibility.

Friday sounds good. Meet at 7 or possibly earlier so LGHT could join us? Man, I haven't been in the water for more than a week now.

 

[sciencemike]

Im almost better from my cold now. So friday is definately on. I can do 7 am. I might have my scuba buddies meet at 11 am then so we can do some deep water lobstering.

As a side note we are also going to dive saturday if anyone wants to join us. Dam check your pm's on spearboard.

7am on Saturday, too? I just might make it

 

[sciencemike]

Not sure about what time on saturday. But we can take some suggestions on when everyone can go. I can go anytime on saturday. Some of the people on saturday are really going for a specific purpose, and i wouldnt miss out on it for the world. We can talk through pm's. But everyone is much more than welcome to come. We just need to find out when everyone can go.


Mike.

Iclypso,

There should be about 8 people going tomorrow. 2 will be coming on Jet Ski's. We are meeting at Reef Point at 8 AM. Everyone else out there is welcome to come as well. You can easily find me, just go left as you enter reef point parking lot go to the end by the bathrooms. Ill be driving a Grey Scion TC. Dam has the white one. See everyone there. All skills welcome, from the noobs like me to the experts who come in for the WSB.

 

[iclypso]

Well, I'm definitely the former. I need all the practice I can get; it's been about 3 weeks since I've been because of the end of the quarter crunch at school on top of a 45 hr work week. Hope to see you guys there.

 

[iclypso]

Nice to meet you, Mike, and thanks to Mike and Anton for letting me tag along for awhile. Sorry I had to leave early but, honestly, I'm not sure how much longer I would have wanted to stay with a 3mm wetsuit. Let's do it again soon!

 

[sciencemike]

It was very nice to meet you as well. At the end of it there was about 13 people showing up today. I got about 10 lbs of fish, 4 x ~2.5 lb'ers. 3 sheep and one sandbass. It was a lot of fun. I also found an old log out in the water with 6 just barely not legal lobsters under it. Contact sucinimad about diving over xmas break. I will be gone to Hawaii for a month of spearfishing.

Bet you are excited when your new suit comes.

 

[iclypso]

Wooooo wooooo, wetsuit came. Can't wait to try it out, not to mention the Picasso Black Team fins my girlfriend got me for my birthday.

 

[sciencemike]

Well because its gonna rain monday and tuesday, anyone want to give diving a shot on saturday morning? Maybe 8 or so am. Crystal Cove?

[LGHT]

[mateusz h2o]

any one want to go diving tomorrow? laguna beach?

 

[sciencemike]

From what i have seen, the swells picking up thru sunday at least. I think we are gonna shoot for tuesday AM dive if anyone wants to tag along.

 

[LGHT]

I would love to dive, but am's don't work for me. Do you guys ever dive in the afternoon? I have a hard time getting up to be at work at 9:00am as it is. However I'll probably start leaving the office early and driving after work. I figure with drive time and gearing up I can be in the water by 5:00pm on a good day. Are you taking the PFI?? I know DAM said he was already signed up.

Cant justify any more expeses on freediving. Just spent seriously way too much money on stuff. Anyways weekends coming up are looking really positive for spearing fish. Always glad to have you along with us.
