Wrinkles' October 30th Dive in La Jolla And Beach BBQ

[Ann Marie]

Roy came up with this schedule some time back. It is a good idea to post it again anyway...

6:00AM - Early Birds arrive and lay claim to a spot (put out tarps and shade thingies)
7:00AM - First Dive, North Wall
10:00AM - Second Dive, Secret Garden....Main Wall/La Jolla Cove??
12:00AM - Lunch
2:00PM - Third Dive, Marine Room
5:00PM - Night Dive (Sun sets at 4:59PM, bring your lights, extra batteries and warm clothes)
7:00PM - Dinner, lots of little cafe's in the area (walking distance)

Note, this is a very relaxed shedule, and serves only as a guideline. I'm sure some people would like to go over to the cove for some exploration. I really recommend arriving early as this would allow you to get parking and secure a spot. This location is very popular indeed. OEX is about two blocks away and can fill tanks.

I personally can't stay for the night dive and dinner. My family has plans :17:


Does anyone want to have an underwater pumpkin carving contest?

As of today, we have 38 people that are planning to attend.

I am trying to attend, however, I have other commitments. But since I got a special PM invitation, I thought I would try. It may be surface support only, but I am gonna work on it.

Is there an alternative plan in case the run off is too bad?

I have a frisbee!! Seriously though, if the run off is bad there, it will be bad everywhere. Suppose to stop raining tonight and that will give us a good 50 hours for sediment settling and for the area to "flush" as it were.

I dove the canyon Saturday which was a few days after some major rain and the vis was very nice. It is good we already had a big storm so not too much bacteria accumulated since then.

Terry sent me a cool link about the La Jolla and Scripps canyons. Very interesting reading: http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20041027/news_lz1c27canyons.html

Thanks Terry!
