Sunday, 9 June 2019, Martha and I Dive on the Fish Camp Rocks

 Martha and I left the apartment at 6:30 am. We got to Tower 17 about 15 minutes later and got my favorite parking spot. We geared up and got in the water at 7:20 am, swam out near the blocks and descended at 7:43 am.






There was no current this morning. The wind was less than 3 mph and SSW. We swam to the Gray Mid-way Rock and then East to the Fish Camp Rocks.









We found the usual Bluestripe, Smallmouth, Spanish, French and Caesar gunts as well as some Yellowtail and Gray Snappers.

Bottom time for the dive was 122 minutes; maximum depth was 19.6 feet; my SAC was 14.21 psi/minute on an 80 Cubic foot tank and an RVM of 0.37 cubic feet/minute.
