Dive prep for may 2008 CA hunt

Posted May 1st, 2008 at 02:06 by slimsteve

April 30, 2008
I decided to head to California to get into the pacific and maybee get to see a friend. I figured I had better do it know as all my friends and family live scattered up and down the Alantic cost of the U.S. and I don't know when I'll have the oppertunity to get in California waters again as the family is getting older.
Any way I have tried to find a dive buddy through this site. Posted a thread and had a couple people try to put me in touch with other people. I actually...

Diary of Iowa newbie spero 2007 to infinity

Is it a midlife crisis? Is it a Now that the kids are all grown up my time thing?? Or is it simply a biological urge to return from wence we came??? Live precariously thru this tormented character as he rediscovers and becomes obsessed by the oceans again. The story will be true and the charaters real but it will be told in the "Surreal" reality of slimsteve an old salty, now landlocked in Iowa!

Well went to try a site I havn't dived before Osmington Mills, got in early this morning just before high tide. Vis was great between 3 and 5m explored the area a bit but sadly no fish, in fact only saw a couple of small wrasse, nice dive and very interesting ground sure it will be more productive with a bit more experiance of it. In for about two hours, got out as tide turned and wind picked up.. the surface chop that brought made the swim back in a bit messy but fun all the same.

Well wind was howling in from the east, so all dive plans were postponed in favor of curry and a beer. Did manage a road trip to some new spots to check out their feasibility. Hopefully check those on Wednesday if the viz has improved. Did take a peek at Chesil, was flat calm and probably 2-3m vis. Also swarming with scuba divers so may take a peek tomorrow evening.
