See what I mean? You couldnt see anything!
A gloomy day! Not so good for diving :(We came down to La Jolla last night- stayed at great hotel, had a great dinner and checked out the dive site. After I saw the site, I got really nervous! Granted it was in the evening, but the water looked so... black. And scary. The guys decided where we would be swimming to and diving to the next day, and it seemed like a long, far swim to me- another reason to make me nervous. But... there were tons of seals- and thats one of the things I have to do- dive with seals! So I worried all night- and the guys made fun of me for it, but I got up at 5:30am and geared up and got in the water!!! Did I mention it was an extremely gloomy morning? No sun at all. So it was dark. And the seals werent out. And once we got in the water, I realized the visability was actually really bad. Perhaps the worst I have seen so far. And then there was this sea grass, which I have never experienced. I didnt like it at all. It was so thick- you couldnt see through it so you had no clue what was hiding in it. Infact we came across a 4 foot bat ray right next to me. It was also low tide and very surgey. So the dive wasnt that great. And we also had an old camera with us (our good one is in the shop still from the last dive accident in catalina!) so the pictures didnt come out well. It was a fun mini vacation overall though! I would try it again under different circumstances!
