Wow, it’s already mid October and another heat wave kicked in. Headed out with Steve and Gayle. The forecast showed big swell. We could see huge wave at Sunset Cliff but offshore it was relatively calm. We dropped the anchor at T-Rex, a site that had a lot of reef clusters. The water looked so green on the surface. When I dropped down, there were tons of particulates in the water column. The visibility turned even worse when I got to the bottom. In fact, for a few seconds, it was dropped so bad that I was not even sure whether I should abort the dive. And it was super surgy – probably the worst condition I did with Steve.

I just hang around the anchor just in case if Steve decided to abort the dive. There were a ton of baby blacksmith and senorita. I must have stayed on the other direction away from the main reef because Steve shined the light on me, signaling me to following him. Then we got to the main reef.

The visibility got a little bit better but still very surgy. This was the first dive I brought two strobes. Obviously this was not an ideal condition to practice wide angle lighting. I breathed very fast. Toward the end, I found a nice reef and Gayle came and modeled for me.

The surface interval was interesting. When we got to the second site, there was a small fishing boat right next to it. We decided to hang around because it seemed like the person on that boat was pulling the anchor. While we were chatting, we noticed something flipping on the surface. I thought it was a turtle. Steve moored the boat closer and we found it was a good size kelp bass. At this time the other boat gave up pulling the anchor because it was stuck so bad. They threw the anchor buoy off board. We decided to help him. Since we didn’t have fishing license we also decided to give the fish to that boat. That must be their lucky day – they got the anchor up and got a big sea bass. It was a funny incident.

We dropped off the anchor on the second site. There was a big layer of dirty water on the bottom. Above that the visibility was decent. But it was surgy. I stayed high above the dirt layer and had lots of fun shooting the fish in the kelp.

There was a lot of fish. I felt it was like a fish shower. There was also a big fish bundle and it came and went by many times.

We saw a lot of lobster buoys on the surface. It was the lobster season. Underwater, I found one lobster trap. Since there was no other particular interesting subject, I practiced lighting with the trap.

It was a relatively shallow site so I stayed pretty long underwater without even getting into the deco. The fish and the kelp were so much fun and I didn’t even want to come up to the boat.

Overall the conditions were pretty sub par in both dives but turned out this was a really fun trip. Oh, some great dives.

Here is the report from Steve.
Gayle V and Weiwei joined me today for a couple dives off Point Loma.
We had flat seas all day and sunny skies too
We dropped anchor at T-Rex as per Gayles repeated request 😉
Vis on dive #1 was only 10 ft ish…
Water temp at depth was 59º and 70 º on the surface.
There was lots of surge , making photography difficult.
We decided to head over to Amazing Place for dive #2 and had better vis there , but still surge.
Gayle found one of those Jellyfish that has been seen recently and I saw a Black Sea Bass.
Also saw a starry rockfish at 85 ft !
Great day with fantastic people .
