dive trip - backblog 6

OK> now this is going to be from memory since I just about stopped writing every day while I was on the boat. I was just either too lazy or... too busy! haha. Luckily I have the moblog images and the occaisional tweets that may have helped a bit!

2010 july 21

as usual woke up early and had the first breakfast as we cruised over to the dive site. omg. the water seemed like it was going to be cold too but as we were headed to the Eureka Oil Platform, I decided not going in was not going to be an option.



So yeah. i did the first one. and yeah. it was cold! But I saw some neat things, even harbor seals that played in the water though most were just chilling out where they could.







I skipped the 2nd dive. Brrr! But after lunch, we headed over to Santa Catalina where the sun decided to make an appearance. Some of us got to dive around Long Point and then afterwards we were offered the option to dive again, or hit Avalon - I did the latter where we found establishments that served beverages that were made from alcohol. *hic*







mango margarita ! and some shots of tequila from melody...





then it was back to the boat.
i had dinner and then ended up going to bed.
i heard lots of the others that went ashore entertained themselves and the other divers by dancing and drinking a little bit more.
dirty divers!

there were hangovers the next day! haha

2010 july 22 - San Clemente



I even spent time in between dives on the top deck getting sunburned - topless when no one was around - when i could.
yeah. i remember the dives this day were great. lovely kelp and great sunlight poking thru...

headed back to ensenada finally.
on the way back we saw a grey whale off in the distance.
then while watching the photo montage the captain spotted a huge pod of dolphins off to starboard so we changed direction to put ourselves into the middle of them... there were 100's!!!

after the dolphins, i went below to pack up my things...



final photos on board




in case you forgot you were in mexico, there was one giant big ass flag to remind you:












and then the drive back to san diego via tijuana, etc...







But I didn't go home after that. Ended up staying in San Diego for a couple of days.
That get's its own blog...
