Dive 80 - Little Corona - Newport Beach, CA

Bottom Time: 5 min
Depth - 30 feet
Temp - 63
Visibility - 1 to 2 feet

This was our first time Kayak Diving.  VERY FUN!  Combining two of our favorite outdoor activities kayaking and diving!

It was interesting figuring out how to get in and out of the kayaks, but we made it work.  The anchor Jenni got me for my birthday worked out great.

The only downside to todays dive was the insanely bad conditions, we dropped down to check on the anchor the visibility was so bad you had to hit the bottom, then put you head within a foot or two of it to see the bottom.  Yep, you couldn't see your own feet.

It looked like a sand storm underwater.

The other funny thing that happened, was Jenni and I were testing out our newly 'modified' safety sausages and I filled my up at 15 feet, then I immediately shot up to the surface.  Jenni said that with the low visibility she saw me fill it, then instantly I was gone.  It is now considered a Danger Sausage.

Dive 78 - Casino Point - Catalina Island, CA

Dive Time: 55 min
Depth: 50 feet
Temp: 63

Our first night dive at Casino Point.  Super fun.  Jenni saw a baby eel that was very cute.  I got a full grown eel on video hunting.  Great dive.  Highly recommend Casino Point at Night.

This was also a fun time as it was our first time spending the night in Catalina, it was my 'birthday weekend' trip for my 30th birthday!  A great way to celebrate!!!
