Another research plan to fill a 3 day lobster quota of 21 each didn’t work out quite like it was hoped for. A total of 3 bugs were taken by all. A monster calico bass and his relatives swam into the bucket. As usual the weather was outragously sweet, 80′s air temp with gentle breezes, we found between 50-100 feet visibility and 70 degree water temps down to 70 feet deep.


Day 1 the boat heading to Isthmus Cove. Gettin ready for work!



Day 2 DiverCity makes her way East past the Crane Point to just what looked good and turned out to be out of this world great. 3 bugs, 3 fish, 3 dives!! Conditions sweet



Day 3 back to the same area and after 1 dive, Hardcore’s Bethlahammer decides it’s time to get in. Giant Stride entry. Her first dive was in super thick waving kelp laced with leopard sharks, lobster, kelp bass. She almost caught her first lobster!! Water was clear and warm. Her buoyancy was flawlessly perfect. For the first ocean dive she drilled it home! Lounging on the reef



Day 4 was the Isthmus Reef, in a heavy current, clear warm water. Beth wanted in! Her second ocean dive many in the world only dream about. She reached a depth of 36 feet, right on target. She covered the top of one of the most beautiful reefs known to exist. Her second dive and skills she aced!! Congrats to the new Hardcore Diver! Catalina Island

Words can not express the beauty! (That’s the same description this photographer has here!)
