Fallen Rock - 13th

[Diveratt]

Just curious who will be around Joe's this coming weekend. I'm planning on being there Saturday at some point. Old hats - where do you guys normally gather? I'd like to put some names with faces.

Kenny,
Just name the time! I usually go over to pebble beach, right at the NH pavillion.

I haven't heard anything about the water temps, so I'm going to swing by and see if I can catch Joe this afternoon. That might decide the time for Saturday! I'll probably be in a black, quad cab Dodge PU with a diver down plate on the front. Flag me down if I pass you!

Water temp? I would say cold, maybe 68 surface, 1st thermocline around 14'
going into the 60's, 2nd at 24' going into the 50's. But it is only a guess from
past experience at Falling Rock. We will see how close my guesstimate is Sat.

 

[Diveratt]

I had 70-72 surface in my log about this time last year. But I seem to remember it warmed a little quicker last spring - so I'd say you are close. Thermocline was about 20' then and the temp change was considerable. I didn't have or pay attention to a thermometer while submerged due to being the proverbial newbie doing check outs! What time do you guys usually hit it?

 

[Land Locked]

Let's say around 10-11am. Did you happen to drop by and talk to Joe?
I understand Paradise is getting some check out dives together, is that
the dive shop you were talking about? I hope they don't kill the vis!

 

[Diveratt]

I didn't get a chance to stop by. PM didn't work quite like I hoped. Paradise is the shop I was referring to - as of a couple of days ago they hadn't had much interest or feedback for the check outs. 10 works for me - I'll be chomping at the bit to try my gear out!

Hey guys,

My internet has been down so I haven't been able to post or read except at work. I've been battling with the flu so I might not be able to dive. I'll stop by anyways though just to say hi. I'm really hoping my head clears up enough to get in the water.

 

[Land Locked]

K2, 10 it is!
I'll be driving a white Pontiac Van.
Hope you can get your head clear John.

The water is getting warmer and it is time to enjoy our local dive sites. I know some members have kept diving all year round though. Time comes for the warm water.
