3/13/2006 - Dive Trip, Two Day.
So, we headed out to the Channel Islands on the dive boat Peace. The forcast was for massive seas, so I did not have a lot of hope, but lo and behold, the forcast was wrong. Woke up on the backside of Santa Cruz, calm with not much current. The first dive, I was hunting, poked a couple of Ocean Whitefish. Grabbed a few scallops. The second dive I was taking photos, came accross a big bat ray. Managed to shoot a few stills, and some video as he cruised away. Awesome dive!

Day two, opted out of the mornig dive, (hey, why not sleep in?), enjoyed a leasurely breakfast. Geared up, stuck a Sheephead, noticed my camera housing had a drop in it, so I retired from photograph for the rest of the trip.
Came up, poured some hot water from the hot tub down my suit, (ahhhhhh!), ad got ready to go down again.
