Since I was staying in Bodega Bay for the weekend, I decided to make a trip up to Anchor Bay again for some more abs to share with the MISH reunion kids. Drive takes about an hour. Rod was at the reunion but after a late night I figured he wouldn’t really be up for it. So I met up with Dennis (DennisB) from NorCalUnderwaterHunters.com (NCUH). We both ended up being a little late the parking lot, but turned out just fine. We also hooked up with a local diver that showed us a nice reef to go diving. Vis wasn’t the greatest in that you couldn’t see the bottom, but it wasn’t horrible and you could see more than 10′ which is my threshold for good or bad. Pulled my 3 in about 25-35′, all good 8.5″+ It was my first time ab diving in really good vis, so I think all the factors combined to help me get to my PB of 35′ that day. Nothing really special about diving that day otherwise. Abs were pulled from large flat boulder-type rocks scattered throughout the bottom. Found a nice crevice/V-channel cut in to one that had at least 3 or 4 big ones. I did struggle bringing up my last ab though, started to run out of breath and somehow dropped my ab gauge on my ascent. Couldn’t find it after I put my ab in my bag, so there’s a nice aluminum 7″ gauge sitting down there somewhere.
