Squid Patrol!


Squid Patrol night dive: Saturday January 22nd. at Redondo Canyon, or some call it Vet's Park.  We'll meet in the parking lot above the stairs around 4:00 pm. Sunset is at 5:14 pm. Bring lots of quarters for the parking lot.  Check out Shorediving.comhttp://www.shorediving.com/Earth/USA_West/CalM/Veterans_Park/index.htm for a good description of the site.

I like to remind people that this is a deep dive (can get to 100+) and a night dive, so you should have experiences in both.  Most of the years, the egg casing can be found starting about 60 fsw.  We may see some squid mating, or none at all.  Some years we get lucky. The good news is that the commercial squid season is now over, so no need to fear the big BOOM sound from the fishing boats throwing M80's to ward off hungry sealions.
