We arrived to smokey skies and a red sun. Unknown to me my camera battery was bad so I only got 32 seconds of video. The ocean was dead calm with a murky 15 foot of vis. and a temp. 53 degrees at depth. We reached a max depth of 41 feet on middle reef towards coal chute cove. We saw a few...
MacAbee was dead calm when we arrived at about 8:30 AM. Overcast and not too cold, the beach was closed except for divers and kayaks. We went straight out from the restaurant toward the kelp beds and submerged. We saw old cannery pipes, a section of anchor chain, a heavily encrusted pot or...

OK, if anyone goes to Monterey please ask a cop or ranger to confirm diving is OK if coming from out of town. A report on conditions like water temp., vis and waves at Breakwater would be nice. We at least know not all the beaches will be closed.
I dive with a dry suit but sometimes I would just like to snorkel. A NeoSport 7.5mm wet suit with a Lyrica suit and 3mm tropical suit under it is not enough. I'd like to keep the cost to about $300 to $400. Any ideas? I'm 70 so I do get cold easily in 52 degree water. Is this a good choice? I...
