Kayak Dive:
up to 10ft vis about a mile off shore of Alhambra. Saw a couple of shore divers abort, but Steve at Fl West said the shore vis was ok too, as long as you swam a little bit further out than they did.

I don't know the temp, but very comfortable in 3mil.

Lots of divers at alhambra. Parking was fun.
Slightly choppy on surface air 85
Dropped to 15 ft water temp 83
Very very snotty. Viz kept shifting from
zero to maybe 2 ft then back to zero.
Clouds didnt help. Still over all nice
dive. Got out before storms hit.

Did my first kayak dive today from N. Venice pier. Followed GPS to outskirts of the boneyard. 2-3 ft vis. Then went about 100 yards N. of Pier. Vis was about 6". If anyone has lost Jack Squat, I found him. However, I am now hooked on kayak diving, although mine is not really good for this. I guess I'll get a better one later.
