Went to San Carlos September 7-10 with Scuba Specialties. It absolutely poured the first night we were there. I was told there was a six inch deep river of water flowing through the lobby at the Marina Terra Hotel, which isnt a big surprise if you have ever stayed there during a good rain.
We went out to San Pedro Island both days. I expected the water on the way out to be rougher than it was. It really wasnt too bad. Three or four foot swells at the most. We saw a few dolphins about 200 yards away from the boat when we first got to the island, but that was it for them. The water at the island seemed somewhat stirred up from all the recent rain, but visibility was still pretty good. There were some sudden, strong currents at the north point of the island. Water temperature was a very pleasant 84°. I dont know what the air temp was, but no one was shivering when they got back in the boat. Perfect temps as far as I am concerned. The sea lions were especially playful on this trip. I dont usually interact with them that much, but I had a good time with them this trip.
Did a night dive at the "aquarium" which is a near shore spot. Visibility was very bad. From about 10' at 35' depth to about 25' at 60' depth. The current also started picking up at 50' to 60'.
