Gorgeous day with unbelievable conditions! We did 2 dives, first at about 8:30 and the visibility was about 15ft with 2-4ft surge but by the time we got back in at 10 the sun was out and the visibility increased to 20-30ft! All the colors were so vibrant and it was teeming with life!

I have never been to the “cave” at Heisler Park so we decided to head for that site. Viz was good at 20ft + water (viz 15ft+) with very little surge. I missed the site on the way out but found it on the way back. The structure was larger than expected and full of [...]

Conditions were almost perfect at Malaga last night. Surf was 0-1ft but tide was a bit low. Temp. on the surface was 72F. While underwater, we almost couldn’t believe it was showing 72F! It was like tropical diving!! But due to low surf, getting in-and-out was easy. At 10-15ft, viz was very low looking from [...]

I met with my ex-NAUI classmates around 7pm and walked in a bit after 8pm. Surf was low, 1ft+ with mild wind. When the swell comes in, the wave can reach chest height but they were slow rolling waves. So, getting in-and-out was very easy. Thermocline was at 26ft+. Very mild surge at 40ft but [...]
