Cold Water
ssidvr - 6/26/2007 12:00 AM
Well I just finished my first cold water dive in the Pacific. I went on a boat charter named the Lois Ann out of San Diego. It was a great experience although I went through air pretty fast being my first cold water dive. I went to a place called wreck alley and dove the Yukon, the Ruby E and ventured into the Kelps. I did two days of this and I was pleased at the visibility about 40 or so ft. Well I am looking forward to more dives in the ocean....

My first dive at the Flower Gardens Marine Sanctuary. It definately was a great experience. I averaged about 85ft in depth and saw much marine life. The marine life extended from tangs, parrot, rays, sea turtles, hammerheads, reef sharks, and the most amazing coral. Visibility ranged from 80-90 on almost every dive. I logged a total of 7 dives within the 2 days. The seas were almost nothing and currents were very slow. All in all a great time....
