Is anyone heading out to dive Laguna Beach this weekend?

Good to hear that your ankle is better and that you found someone to dive with even thought your buddy forgot his fins.stoddu:Yes, John and I met at the top of the ramp at Crescent. We suited up, assembled the gear, and then John realized that he didn't have fins with him and I didn't have a spare pair with me. So, John headed home and I headed over to LSS to see if any groups were headed out, but no luck. I headed back to Crescent and walked down to the beach to see if any familiar faces were around, but instead found a nice couple who were not familiar with Crescent, so I buddied up with them. Red tide was gone, but it was a bit surgy and some particulate matter was stirred up. We saw the usual, but we had a very curious sea lion that stayed with us for several minutes. She did some loops, and a few close looks, but in general just tagged along like a buddy for a while.
The ankle felt good today. It still hurts a bit on an awkward step, but that's going away. I think the bone bruises on the ankle and elbow are almost gone also. Hopefully your hand has healed as well? Sounds like you guys on the boat had some nice conditions yesterday.
Take care and good diving,
Steve
