If you are going to be there >2 hours why not just park on the street? That way you're legal and you leave the 2 hr spots for <2 hr people

Fair enough!

Hi
Anybody know if they enforce the 2 hour parking limits at cove2 on the weekends or evenings during the non-summer season?

Very cool!

Hi Keith! The viz was pretty good. 15 feet or so. I've had a long dry spell from Cove 2 as well, other than a few shallow ones with ScubaJess recently. It is a good one to go on a windy day, or at night. I should go back and find that octo on eggs! I still don't have an octo on eggs pic! Let me know...

Hi ScubaJess, Laura (not a member here, but hopefully soon) and I went to Cove2 today. We were going to go to the Junk Yard, but the winds kept us to the cove. Dive 1: Plan was to check out the squat lobsters and maybe some stubby squid eggs living in the rockpile uphill and north from the I-Beams. ...

Awww, darn it! Hope you get it back soon.

Great to meet you Dale -- thanks for taking us out and being such an excellent guide! Great diving with everyone! And fantastic report, ScubaJess, and congrats again on your progress!

Sqee! You're accepting interested divers now? I'd love to go if there's room! I can bring snacks...

Thank you veterans! And thank you oldsalt!

Howdy folks!
Who's up for some lumpy- and stubby-finding and maybe hooded nudibranch-finding night diving at Redondo this Thursday evening? 6:30 meet?

Beer after

looks like a plainfin midshipman
always a cool find!

Thanks.
I've been to the south too. Blech!!

Hi
Has anybody dove Three Tree Point out at the point? (scooter or boat dive)
Anything out there?

Sounds like a lot of fun, but I'm most likely out this week. Certainly hope someone else joins. Have fun!

Cool! I haven't heard of the Normandy beach wreck. Any good?

Very cool pics and report, Tom!

What stressed behavior did you notice? The only off thing I noticed was the cali seacumbers I uploaded a pic of and also the squat lobsters looked a bit less skiddish than usual. But I've only dove sund a few times.

Hope you feel better soon! How are those barges? I've never done them before.

For a shallow dive, I like to go out, hit 40', and follow the depth line to the honey bear. Check out the pilings along the way. Especially check out the pilings sticking way up off the bottom, just near the honey bear, they are the best. They are labeled "elated jackstraw pilings" on your...

Where's everybody diving this weekend?
(or where did you dive today?)

Hi
I forgot to post this one. Lots of California sea cucumbers were up off their base, with their peltate tentacles sticking out! Any one know what might be going on here? Is this normal?

Hi! ScubaJess and I did four dives at Sund Rock South Wall yesterday. It was fantastic. I've only been to Sund Rock a couple times and I really got to like this place quite a bit during the dives. Lots of cool critters to be found when you move slow. We saw 7 species of nudibranch, tons of squat lob...

We were there today. It was raining heavy all day. Viz was great down below!

Haha, thanks to BillZ I have secured a canopy for tomorrow!!!

Any one doing a night dive + social hour at Redondo or 3tree tomorrow? we may join you after our day dives!

I'm thinking of taking off every second Thursday for the rest of the year for diving. tides are good those days.

-Eric

Hey Eric - I can't make the Thursday dive but you can borrow my king canopy if you'd like. I'll be in the Microsoft campus/DT Bellevue area all day tomorrow and could bring it with me. Not sure what you're driving now-a-days but the canopy is about 6ft long.... Great! Thank you so much! I work in D...

doesn't sound like anything a couple of rockstar's couldn't take care of!
