Scuba dive from ocean cove

Paddled out yesterday to 1' swells.  No electronics on this boat so anchored four times before finally hitting 60'.   Dropped in to a blizzard of
Blacks and Blues with the occasional Olive.  Still hit the ground at 75' and started plunking the biggest Olives.  After stringing 6 rockfish I started using my light to see if any Lings were hiding out.  No luck,  but a nearby friend and his wife in a 10 zodiac managed 3 nice ones.  Fortunately no one stole my paddle this time.

Thanks for the report and pictures  Batt.

Good stuff! 

Thanks for the report and pictures, Dave. Great kayak!

Kayak made in Elk,  Ca.  30+ years ago.

Nice going, Batt crew.   

Nice work 🤙

Still foggy on landing. That's my kind of day...

Nice catch! Well done

Great day! Happy for you. Thanks for sharing with us.

Really interesting yak there, wondering what make and vintage it is

I still have a mulderboard I got around 72 for freediving that is now a project yak

Thanks for the report and congrats.

Your post brought some emotion as well. It seemed every time i spoke with Antonio at gatherings, he would almost always mention what a great guy and diver that you are.

I had a Mulder.  traded a Smith board for it . but did not like it ..  Too short for lay down paddle and too uncomfortable for set up paddle.   The kayak in the report is an Odyessy.  19'6" surf ski made in Elk by the Sackett brothers.  over 30 years old.  Without a tank in it I cannot stay on it.   Only way to fish from it is with legs dangling.

Excellent report- O-Cove is a special place..

Awesome stuff Batt!!

I miss diving with you. Next year let's try and make it happen.

 

Sincerely,

Jim
