Eight (8) SBer's met at Vista Point this weekend.
We geared up and headed due west to the island. Once we hit the first buoy, we turned south to navigate the back-side of the island.
The first few minutes of the dive was along the sand boat channel, which is about 17 feet deep. Once we hit the front of the island, we stayed on our westerly course, but the island is cone shaped and we were able to get a little deeper. On the West face (backside) of the Island, I am confident we could have got a lot deeper.
Saw a few Bass and an elusive catfish. Navigated through some trees. Most of us were in light exposure suits, so we kept the dive above 40 feet for the most part.
Water Temp: 78 Degrees
Depth: 38 Feet -ish
Time: 50 Minutes (casual pace)
Visibility: Pretty good for the time of year -10 feet most of the time.
We did a second dive along Vista Point, but cut it short so we didn't interfere with the class Scuba Sciences was doing.
It was nice to have a SB visitor from Canada
join us.
The power of the 'Net. Although, I think the warm water threw her for a loop.
