I heard and seen pix that this dive is a lot more enjoyable than when I went. The bad thing was that the Vis from the surface to about thirty feet was like pea soup vis. About 2 1/2-3 feet after thirty feet it opened up to about 15 ft. It was very dark. Because of the Kelp we went down to 65 ft. where it was a cold 45F with lots of fish and plant life. This Dive was done on June 22nd. I haven't given up on Point Lobos and I can't wait to have a good dive, and that will probably happen in the Winter. All in All it was a good Dive.
