Dive # 279 - It was a hot day for a cool dive in Laguna. We arrive at woods to clear skys and occasional 3 - 4 ft waves but lots of swell meaning we were in for a surgy dive. We head out between the two rocks and drop down and immediately see a 3 ft horn shark. With the heavy surge we struggled to get deeper and keep the group together. The surge eventually turned us around and we spend about 8 minutes kicking over sand almost at Moss st. We dropped down again and tried to stay in one spot and saw a good size bat ray and lots of large lobsters. Typical diving conditions at Woods. Just when I had about forgotten what surge felt like. Great dive with guys from NBTT divers. Get out and dive with us. (http://www.nbttdiveclub.com)
