    I dove Laguna today North of Main Beach. Water looked really good from shore and started off good too but turned poor quickly. We entered the water after the bottom of the low tide around 5:00 PM. Lots of green particulate near the surface vis. reached a foggy 12' at best. Surf was non existent.


    The best part of the dive was that we (my neighbor Bruce and I) took his son for his first dive. He is 12 years old and probably the closest thing I have to a son other than my dogs. He did fantastic in my opinion making several dives below 10 feet and comfortably diving through some of the underwater rock features. He had a great time despite the limited vis and tried his first fresh raw scallop.:thumbsup2:


    You beat me to my own report??? Nice!:laughing3:

    Nice video Daniel. I didn't see near so many lobster but did find a spot outside of the reserve that was plastered with scallops. Will have to drag the skiff out someday and do some selective harvesting.


    By the way,how did you handle the sculpin? I'm too afraid of them. My brother got stung years back and said the his whole side on which he was stung was in effect paralyzed. He is given to overstating things but he has taken straight to emergency by his dive partners.

    You know I've had the chance to take them before, but I never did because I only had a stringer attached to my weight belt. And I've heard the horror stories of people getting stung.


    This time I brought my float along, so I attached the sculpin to my float, which kept the fish away from my body.


    I still grabbed the sculpin with my hands on the back end section, as I was braining it. But since it was so small it wasn't that big a deal. Also before filleting it I cut off the spikes on its fins. Probably should have put on some gloves at that stage, but I was getting hungry and a little impatient.
