Date: August 10, 2006 Dive Location: Marineland Buddy(ies): Solo Time: 3:08 Bottom Time: 1:06 Max Depth: 52' Vis: 10-12' Wave height: Zero Temp at depth: 56F Surface Temp: 62F Comments: A couple of firsts today. I walked into the water and then put my fins on...at the Point! It was a lake, and the vis was good enough to see where I was stepping so I didn't have to sit on a rock and tear my drysuit. Also, I found the largest Pacific Electric Ray I've ever seen. It was about 4 1/2 feet diameter. I tried to take a picture but he was startled and swam away. I felt like ScottFiji chasing after an animal for some video. :) Now that destruction has begun at Marineland the lower gate is no longer locked at 4:00. I took my time and had a nice, relaxing dive.
Doriopsilla albopunctata, or Dorito for short. Dos Doritos

Watch where you're sticking that thing.
The one that got away.
Hang in there, Baby.
