Donut Dive January 2009

The air was cold and the dive was cool. When we hit the water the air had warmed up to around 49 degrees. the waves onshore were down to six inches and the water temp at the surface was at 57 degrees... Marcus, Van, Bob, Dan and I enjoyed our coffee and donuts and traded stories... Well Marcus learned about stories... not to far off from most fish stories. It was then time to gear up and get in the water. Marcus, Van, Bob and I geared up and headed into the warmer water... warmer than the air that is. There was a bit of a south flow but minimal waves.

We descended in about eight feet of water and had five to six feet of VIZ. We almost immediately found some rocks and lots of sand dollars. The tour was nice and we found a fair amount of small structure. We also found a large clump of old two to three inch rope, unfortunately we were at the end of the dive and there was too much to cut to get it free. If you are going out there the rope is in eleven feet of water about 125 feet north of the pier. I think that there is only one more strand of three inch to cut to get it free. Let us know if you get it out.

Great dive guys!!! We will see you next month... Location to be determined later.
