I am still a newer diver but haven't ventured to far from shore because of recent weather and visibility. I am in ft Bragg and willing to go if you still want to give it a try.  Kayak or float tube?

The PM never made it.  Sent you one with contact info. If you don't get it I will just post where I am at and you could stop by.

Eric,

Glad you reached out for a diver buddy this weekend.  I know your skills were better than mine and hope I did not hold you back. Thanks for encouraging me. 

Great visibility and we both got our abalone limit.

There was a nice one you kept pointing out to me, but it was deep in a crack/ledge.   It was over 10" and to date I have not been able to get any that big, but with practice I am determined to get to that level.   Those ledges hold the big ones, but they scare me.  I will learn to hold my breath longer so I can get to them. And next time I will have a spear gun.  Nice way to fish.
