Deadman’s Reef
Laguna, CA
Water Type: Salt
Entry Type: Shore
Dive #258 -Conditions looked promising for Deadmans, calm swell, no surf, warm day even tried side mount shore dive with steels (bad idea), but despite easy entry, very long swim we had very poor visibility and strong currents on surface going away from deadmans and bottom going past deadmans. We also had a brief encounter with a speeding yacht reminder to always carry a surface buoy and use it! Our friend Idad got some great pictures with his camera and Vicente had the longest swim of his life. Get out and dive with us. NBTT Divers (http://www.nbttdiveclub.com)
