Hmmmmm..........Ya might want to reconsider. We were out there on Friday & winds were due west, which messes the viz & Jellies are about. With the weather being what it has been the last 2 days, I doubt things have changed much. We are planning a yak dive from the pier on Saturday the 16th at 8:00 am. That is, providing the weather & winds have improved. You're welcome to join us.

Sorry about that. I start back to school on Tuesday so I'm back to weekends only. Maybe we can get a crew together around Christmas time. If you go out this week, be sure to post a report on conditions. Good luck!

Well I did venice today and I got my A%& KICKED trying to get past the surf, I ended up putting on my fins and pulling the kayak past the surf (sandbar)then getting in and going the rest of the way, I didn't know how far to go and ended up in only 22' deep.
Vis was 1' at best and I only found 15 teeth, one 3" meg that is broken, the rest were little teeth.

Thanks for the report. I kinda suspected the viz wouldn't be too good with the steady west winds we've been having. How about jellies? Any sign of them?

No jellies that I could see.

Well that's good news!
I'm not sure where the right place to ask but can you please define Kayak diving for me. I mean I understand that it must involve a kayak and scuba but why, pros, cons, if you would not mind educating me. I think I might like it but just stumbled on to this. Thanks.
