Sunday saw a boat trip out to Catalina Island. We did a total of three dives, the first dropped us to about 70 ft, and we dived for about 30 minutes. The second was spent mostly between 20-25 feet or lower and the dive ended up lasting 53 minutes – so far the longest dive we’ve done on our rented 80 cu ft tanks. The last dive saw a bunch of lobsters hiding in the rocks and lasted about 45 minutes.

This past Saturday (September 29th) the girlfriend and I dived Treasure Island. Friday night we went to scope out the new dive spot, right off Westley Street behind the Montage Resort and Spa. The waters looked incredibly calm and the cove looked so inviting. The next morning, we got there around 9 AM and walked in full gear for about a quarter mile to the second beach entry point. The reef started a couple of feet off the beach.

There was a storm that hit Southern California this past weekend, so our diving plans for Saturday got derailed, so we went today (Sunday). We originally wanted to get up at around 5 AM and head out to Laguna, but attempts to failed so we ended up sleeping for another two hours. After lazily getting out of bed, we put all the gear into the car and headed out. I guess the storm has some residual effects as the waves were pretty strong; however we were able to enter and exit on our two dives just fine.

It’s 1:43 AM right now. Gtetra is in my workshop priming his GP04 conversion kit. CWModels is outside sitting with Acon chatting about anime, figures, shops, history, etc; Bhop is in the dining room working on gluing parts of his resin figure together; while I’m here uploading the hundreds of pictures I took and posting a report on the event…. Another successful model build night. Gtetra has had one beer, I’ve had one, and Bhop is on to his second or third… I haven’t really be paying much attention.
