Very nice incredible day for diving. The ocean as far as the eye could see was a virtual lake. As if you could walk on water to Catalina. As we saw these uniquely calm conditions approaching NBTT -[ http://www.nbttdiveclub.com ]scheduled a dive for Old Marineland. While not my favorite dive spot it is one of the unique spots you can find an abundance of strawberry anemone and a variety of fish. On this day surprisingly did not see many fish a very large sheep head in the distance and a small horn shark, some lobster. The super calm conditions allowed for an almost effortless entry from the point (avoiding the several hundred yard swim) from the cove. We had a group of 10 divers from NBTT.
