Just got back from diving lake redondo 1:15 a.m excellent condition no swell to be seen. Started out of the boat slip at 8:00 p.m. did a little bit of fishing inside the harbor (just for fun ) went out about 2 1/2 miles out to a secret lobster spot anchored the boat in a 110 f.t. of water got suited up back rolled and down the anchor line we went once at the bottom Vis was only 10 feet at best did a sweeping side to side patern looking for those big bugs finally there they were started grabbing left and right after we got our limit of 14 bugs we started back to the anchor line and with only 10 feet of Vis that was a job by it's self but we did find it and it was time to surface after a 8 min. deco stop at 15 feet. All total it was an excellent dive with a bottom time of 41 min. max depth 134 feet and 14 lobster and at least 5 of them in the 4-5 pound range.
Cylinder H.P. 120 with 4000 psi 31% nitrox mix.
Possablely going to try it again tonight thats if the old lady don't mind and the conditions stay the same might even try a spot with a 145 feet bottom that I call the (pit)
