Alhambra site 10am
84 degrees
no surf
zero to three inches at blocks

handful of small teeth

City beach 1330

visibility was less than zero, it was so poor it was disorienting with all the junk moving in the water

agree with last post (I was the yak diver (orange... kayak... not me ). Had equip. issues early in day. Decided to try again in afternoon. With high tide, it was better, but still not good. Also did dives out further in boneyard (about 1/2 mile or more out???). Zero there as well. However, as I said, was better. Watch surf report, but with the NE coming in, might try Sunday (give it a few days to blow over/calm).

Service Park Dive
4:00 PM
95 minute dive
18-22 Feet
Vis 0-1 Swimming out in 3-8ft of water I had about 2-4ft of vis but once I descended and started hunting it was really poor. Mask bumping into pen shells and basically groping along.

I usually pull in 50+ teeth on a shore dive, today I toughed it out an hour longer than I would have because I wanted to find 1, basically had to feel around, silt on the bottom looked like it improved a little over two weeks ago when I was out but not by much. Hopefully Isaac does not mess things up on the bottom to bad and we can get in some quality late summer/fall diving.

Here is the tooth I found, poor quality picture this time but I think you get the point of the picture =)



Dive safe.

8:30 am
Winds NE @ 10
Seas 1'+
Water Temp 86
Vis 0-4'
Max depth 22'
Finds usual small stuff
Figured I would try to get a dive in before the storm.
There was a current running South and was actually moving silt out of some areas.
We'll have to see what happens over the next couple days

Alhambra 9/1/12 noon - 2pm Water Temp: 86 Visibility: 0-1 foot in most places Tide state: from just before high to a little after Wind: NE Surf: minimal Presence of drift algae: A Lot. Difficult to see the sea floor from 9 inches, and finding the blocks should not require swimming with your hands ahead of you and hoping you see a shadow before you hit them.
