Darn, I wanted to get some diving in X-mas day! Anyone up for trying anyway? I just have to be in SF in the evening. I don't really mind low viz anyway. Thanks for posting the photos!

It isn't THAT bad. I got reports today (12/24) of 40' vis. at N. Monastery, and they said they could walk in and walk out. Of course, these guys WERE dragging their knuckles on the ground as they brought their tanks in for a fill...

Yday I heard the same from some guys who went out to the Pinnacles at Pt. Lobos. They said it was no big deal, even though the swell model showed 12' seas down there. It was later that I learned they went out with some of Andrew's scooters.

BTW, we are closed 12/25. I'm hosting the father-in-law for Christmas dinner. Get your fills on-line!
