Sorry to be off topic again. But the diving is great.
Malaga Cove & Haggerty’s 06 Aug 02
Dive time 6:25pm to 7:50 pm
Low Tide: 1:08 pm, High Tide 7:29 pm
Waves, huge ones of 2 and 3 inches, with an occasional 1 footer.
Visibility 2-5 feet Malaga Cove, 10-15 feet Haggerty’s visibility went to 1-2 feet below 18 feet.
Water Temp 66-68F Air 72F.
Entered the water next to the storm drain and did a surface swim to even with the pool and along the edge of the reef. Dove down and continued on to the west in 1-5 foot visibility towards Haggerty’s. At the pier pilings at Haggerty’s visibility improved to 10-15 feet. Schools of Pacific Barracuda. Large kelp room at Haggerty’s was magnificent. The setting sun shining through the kelp, the school of barracuda and other fish. Saw two large horn sharks approximately arms length, resting on the bottom and quite unconcerned we were there. Under the pier pilings was a huge Kelp (calico) bass, estimated weight 10 lbs. All and all a great way to spend 1 hour 20 minutes.
