Abalone dive at stillwater cove

Dove this weekend at stillwater cove by fort ross when i arrived there in the early sat. morn. the weather was beautiful but the kelp was covering all the best dive areas. But i went for it haveing to dive under the kelp 25' to 30' then back out, probably some of the toughest diveing i have done. visability was very poor also. took about a hour to get three abs. On the way in i speard some large perch.

Nice job. I plan on getting out there again as soon as the tides are nice and low. Prolly not until next year, but you never can be sure about these things.

Two weeks from now i'm going back up to stay at ocean cove. will dive again if kelp is not any worse. anyone else? I saw some nice cabezon and lings being brought in by inflatebles and kayak fishermen.

Just a word of caution! i just heard that someone drowned sat. near stillwater cove about one hour after i left pretty scary, he got caught in the kelp and friends could'nt get to him in time. I did'nt dive sun. because the kelp is so bad and i alreAdy used to much energy on sat. BE CAREFUL THERES ALWAYS NEXT YEAR!
