Diving in Monterey this weekend

Divemaster-bob · Apr 25, 2011

Heading to Monterey this weekend doing a Saturday dive off the beach at the Butterfly house in Carmel. We have an extra DiveYak so if anyone would like to join us drop me a message or just replay to this post. Theres a great kelp forest there within 50 yard of the shore, plan on two dives. Sunday we will be diving off of the Monterey bay express so this will only be for a Saturday dive.

Hope you all can join us

Did you say DiveYak? I can't make it this weekend because I'll be out of town. However, I'm looking for folks who are interested in kayak diving - my regular yak diving buddy moved away last year so I haven't been out on the yak in tooooo long.

Well Jefmichaud Yak diving is lots of fun and I'm always looking for new people to dive with. Please add me to your friends list I'm also working on doing the facebook thing to let people know when I'm heading to the water so I can get groups together, but I'm not there yet. Funny though I'm a computer guy you would think I would be all over that.

How was/is it out there?

This morning at Hopkins it was pretty snotty with about 10' vis and 48˚, with a few jellies. Two hours later (around 11am) at Erics vis was much better - around 25' - negligible surge, 46˚ and swarms of jellies between 25ft and about 10ft. Fun safety stop! Some rollers but mostly pretty calm. From Eric's we could see surf out toward Coral St.

Sorry I missed you Scribetree you didnt miss much. Saturday we drove out to the butterfly house took a look and went back to McAbee beach. We took the Yaks out a few hundred yards dropped Anker in 50ft. The diving wasnt that great vis was 5-8 with a bit of surge cold and bumpy. Sunday was a bit better we dove off of the Express sorry Im not sure the dive sites but the first dive was 15 ft. vis lots of jellyfish and not much else. The second dive was much better 15-20 ft. vis less surge just a better dive. Ill post some picks when I get home.

No worries, I had my own misadventure anyhow. I got hit by a car on my motorcycle on Friday coming home from work. Fractured rib and some assorted bumps and bruises (luckily not much else), but it'll be a few weeks before I can comfortably dive again, that's for sure.

We can rain check it.

Wow Im sorry to hear that Im glad everything is ok other than bumps and bruises. I ride every day to work on a VTX 1800 one or two close calls but never been hit.
Here are some of the picks I took. :popcorn:
