A Bad Diving Day For Any Divers!

This is one of my worst dive of my life. I dove in Murky water, red tides, and coffee like water. This is bad, and I didn't bring my flashlight.

Most of the divers went to Fort Ross. My friend, who's a very good diver, didn't get any abs, and getting skunk is rare with him.

I was diving in Horseshoe cove. I was able to get my limit, but I really, really worked. I spend 2 hours to catch them. There was 1/2 feet to 1 feet visibity, if you're lucky.

Basically, you have to dive down, and hit the right spot to be successful, and if you don't, then you keep trying until you do. I had to dive straight down, until I hit the bottom, and then I had to feel for the abs. You can't see anything, except seaweeds & kelps obstructing your view, which makes it difficult to want to stay down. I tell everyone, that is reading this blog, it's dark and not fun at.

My recommendation is try another day. The abalones are not going anywhere. They'll still be there another day. Dive on a better day with good weather.

Take care, and Dive Safety!
