Date: 10 Jan 04 10:36 a.m. to 11:19 a.m. 43:30 minutes dive time.
Site: Corral Beach, Malibu
Max Depth 39 Ft. Average Depth 30 Ft.
Dive Time: 43:30 minutes Air used: 39.5 CuFt
Visibility: 10 - 12 feet, 15 maybe) out at 39 feet.
Weather: 1-2 foot waves with the occasional 3 ft. Sunny and comfortable. Air 59 Suunto Degrees. Water at depth: 55 Suunto degrees (felt more like 52-54).
Entered at the usual entry point opposite the big storm drain under the road near the house. We swam way out as the divers who were just leaving reported poor vis in depths under 15 feet. Estimated we were about 120-150 yards off shore (or more). Dove down and went generally East parallel to the shore for a long way. Nothing but sand. Then went out to sea a bit more and then swam back at an angel to very near our entry point. Hit a few patches of kelp with lots of fish. Other than that we saw sand, and more sand. But a good dive just the same.
