If you've ever dove the kelp forrest outside of La Jolla Cove, you know it's not messing around when it comes to surface swims. It's about a 20 minute surface swim to get to where you drop in. Couple that with long walks from your car and it can be quite a haul to get underwater.
The dive was a huge success for Jenni and a great dive for me. Jenni had the pleasure of seeing an 8ft and a 6ft Sevengill shark. I didn't see them, despite the fact that they were only a few feet away from me, if you're a diver, you realize this happens sometimes.
It was still a great dive for me, because I had the luck of seeing a HUGE Bat Ray, and I mean huge. This guy had a wingspan of 5 or 6 feet and must have weighed in around 150 to 200lbs. I've never seen a Bat Ray this big. It was quite a treat and *almost* made up for not seeing any big sharks.
This was also our longest dive ever, when you factor in dive time and surf time, we were in the water for over 2 hours. Quite nice.
Dive Time: 1 Hour, 18 Minutes
Temp: 68
Depth: 31ft
Sharks: Jenni 2, Nate 0
