Dive Buddies: Emily Strand, Sam Smith
Finally back in the water after a week or so of bronchitis! And what better way to return than on a boat with my two favorite dive buddies. We decided to check out the Point Loma Kelp Beds with Waterhorse. We took the smaller boat, the Camarao, since there were only 4 of us (6 including the captain, Charles, and dive master, Jade). It was very cold out on the ocean! And the boat did not have hot water, hot shower, or a bathroom like the Humboldt :(
On the ride out, we spotted a massive swarm of pelicans, seagulls, and dolphins breaching along with a few sea lions. The captain surmised that there was a large bait ball of sardines or mackerel that they were feasting on. After circling it for a minute, we continued South along Point Loma.
The first dive was in a spot called Frankie's Forest. We anchored on the southern edge and descended right off the back of the boat using a massive kelp stalk as a visual guide.
Right below the boat was a nice little rock covered in strawberry anemones, moon snails, sea cucumbers, massive purple urchins, and a variety of small nudibranchs. Emily was in absolute heaven! We spent about 15 mins just circling that one rock before exploring northwest a bit.
We saw a few lobsters and tons of sheepshead, but didn't get too far before I hit turn pressure. We were using the boat-provided low pressure AL80s and my air consumption was pretty poor from being cold and after being sick (I was coughing a lot underwater from breathing the dry air). We headed back the way we came and ascended to our safety stop.
Sam wanted to try out inflating his SMB, which he did from almost 50 ft and the reel ended up getting tangled on his first stage and a kelp stalk, so I had to help him get untangled, but it wasn't a huge ordeal. We still ended up surfacing right next to the boat. And I was happy to have made it back with exactly reserve pressure!
