Hit the north coast again with Cabeza de Martillo.
The wx was good but the viz and surge was so-so.
The weekend before I was having a new rear window installed on the truck shell and right across the street was Dolphin Dive Shop.
Going in and needing absolutely nothing the salesman showed me the GoPro dive mask. It has the GoPro attachment incorporated into the mask.
Nice gimmick. Then I made the mistake of trying it on.
Best fitting mask I've ever used....yea, I bought it.
Sunday was it's first outing. It did not disappoint.
Here's a 360° panorama...and then some.  :smt002
Oh yea, almost forgot. I ended up somehow spraining my ankle right after we loaded up.  Weirdest thing. It just 'happened'. No roll, no twist, just stepped and felt an ouch. Can't bear any weight. MRI tomorrow.

Thanks for the video.  Glad you got out with the new toy. That nunya reef has been getting hit hard. Maybe you should keep it a secret.

I bought the same mask for the same reason and also found it to be the best fitting mask I have. It makes taking video WAY easier as well. Sorry to hear about your ankle.

Great video, but it was too short!!! :smt003 Ankle problems suck, hopefully its just a sprain and you will be back it before you know it! The mask looks like the best way to NOT loose a GoPro.

Nice!

Sorry to hear about your ankle.

We were up there on Sunday, too. Next time let me know when you'll be up here for a possible after fish/dive chillnGrill.

Nice video! That integrated go pro mount looks like it should work pretty well. I might have to go check it out...

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center.
