Nice story. Another place I wish I could visit again.
You know Blues are harmless. Sure, but convince yourself of that
when you're in the water with a big one. By the way, I have heard
and my limited experience suggests, that poking them even softly to
discourage them, doesn't work and may annoy them. They are brave.
Actually, around Point Dume, I worry about currents more than
sharks.
I assume that the kelp you mentioned was towards Little Dume, unless
there is more than usual off of Point Dume itself.
I used to swim there for hour after hour without getting bored and
it is at good free diving depths.
Enjoy the diving, seahunt
