After an agreeable crossing to the island, we got an early start and two dives completed at Little Window by 10:00am. Schooling sardines, marauding yellowtail and the ever vivacious garibaldi fish made for a fantastic start of the day.
This departure, an overnight 1 day quick getaway, affords us the time to get in 3 - 4 dives before heading back to San Diego. With that said, we repositioned quickly late morning and opened the pool at Pyramid Channel to finish off the trip. This site allows us to dive two separate sites from one location as we set up the mothership over a sand channel between Twin Peaks and Pyramid Head.
Beautiful walls, sea fans, swim throughs along with sunlit plateaus were the highlight of our final dives. The water temperature for the day hovered at 62.5 degrees surface temperature with minimal thermocline and the vis was in the 30 foot range. All typical for this time of year.
Captain Spencer will lead our next adventure departing this evening and destined for 4 days at San Clemente Island…as long as the military is willing.
