Dive Report: Shark Reef aka Heisler Park Heisler Park, Laguna Beach California
Sunday, July 27
Met up with usual dive buddies at 7am. Got geared up and made our way into the water. Toasty! 70 Degrees Suunto throughout whole dive. Bottom Time: 96" Could have been longer, but we were affraid out *time* at the meters had run out. Max Depth about 27'; Viz 10-15 with lots of particulate in the water. Jennifer and I dove the very South/ East side of Heisler.
We saw tons of Horn Sharks, thus...Shark Reef. Along with all the sharks, we also saw a ton of bugs, BIG BAD Bugs 10-15lbs! Soaring Bat Rays; schooling Jack Mackerals; slithery Eels; and all the other usual suspects.
The highlight of the dive was spotting four Giant Black Sea Hares mating and laying eggs!!! This was my first of seeing these large critters in Laguna. Typically, I see them at Catalina or Santa Barbara Island. I would estimate their size to equal to that of a bread box.
