Ski's Scuba Page: Diving the Westside

Wow, first update since July! Well no worries, I’ve been diving, just haven’t posted anything in awhile. Today I went out for some Westside diving with Gabe, Lisa, and Tom. The four of us had Captain Scotty’s “Hapa” all to ourselves today and got some great dives in today. Our first dive was one I requested, the LCU. This is an old Landing Craft used back in WWII, just think about the guys storming the beach at Normandy, and you can make out the kind of wreck we were diving. I like to refer to this as the SEAL (Sea & Air & Land) Dive. First you have the boat wreck itself to check out, then off to the right is the frame of an old truck, and hiding in the reef behind the wreck is an airplane fuselage that was recently sank for an artificial reef. We did our second dive across a series of small ledges near the harbor. There was a ton of fish swimming around these ledges and made for nice leisurely dive that lasted almost an hour.
