If you passed on diving this past Sunday to focus on other priorities you made the right choice.

Four of us headed out to Heisler Park and were greeted by beautiful surface conditions; bright sun, and no wind. Unfortunately the swell was greater than forecast. The entire water column was moving at least down to 30'. Viz was below poor from the surge, so I will leave it at that.

We did spy some Abalone, and there was a school of small fish which seemed to be following us around in the stew. Maybe they thought we knew the way out. LOL.

Still a fun day with great dive buddies,

We had a bit better conditions out at Anacapa Island, but still lots of swell. I was out there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Recent heat wave has certainly kicked the algae bloom into high gear and created some green water up here. Visibility ranged from 5-30 feet depending on location and which day. All diving had to be done on the front side of the island due to wind and swell direction. Kelp is still very healthy and prolific up here, so we are grateful for that!
