Dive Report - Point Lobos/Granite Pt - 31 May 08



Matt and I took Shaun (visiting from PNW) on a tour of the far side of Whalers cove... Granite Point. The conditions were absolutely dead still  with only the occasional breeze stirring up a few ripples in the cove...



Some of the divers took the opportunity to visit the saddle back in between the rocks... most times it is white water city in the shallows here



Granite Point


Oddly though there were very few divers there...



Due to my inability to do math (3 scooters + 2 scooter batteries = ? scooter divers) we ended up with one person without a steed...

We made our way thru middle reef and past Granite Pt wall... accross the other sand channel and started checking out the amazing sheer walls and huge rocks. The vis was 40ft and a beautiful blue with kelp staks and school of smaller blue rockfish hanging like clouds against a blue sky.

Shaun and Matt checking out the wall


Matt looking for his bad dive buddy who's disappeared because he's taking pictures and not letting his team know where he is!



My only clear Hydro Coral shot (yeah there's a lot more out there and a lot of it...)


I was soooo tempted to hit both my purges... does that make me a bad buddy??


We turned the dive at the 45 min mark and rinsed gear then off to lunch... Great day to dive... Epic!
