Mark and I went diving at Point Lobos yesterday. The water was pretty murky and milky, I had difficulties working my camera housing, and I also had several equipment malfunctions (jerry-rigged snorkel keeper, blown out tank o-ring, torn wrist seal), but all in all, it was still pretty fun. It was just good to get back in the water, and we got to enjoy some topside attractions as well.
Here are the best pictures I could salvage:

I ripped a serious hole in one of my latex wrist seals after the first dive. (If only I had had thought to bring duct tape, we could have continued the dive). But with the conditions being average, and not knowing how to fix the leak, we decided to hike around Point Lobos instead. Actually, the scenery above the water was quite stunning, and I think it's too bad that we divers don't enjoy the scenery above water at Point Lobos more. It was gorgeous.
Dive #209:
Viz: 5-20 feet
Depth/Time/Temperature: 40 ft/0:59 minutes/48 deg F
Tank/Weight worn:
Mina wore: PST HP80/10 lbs on weight belt, 4 lbs in BCD, 1 lb on my ankles (thought I as a little light - time to lose some weight)
Mark wore: AL80 tank/ 20 lbs on weight belt, 6 lbs in BCD (Mark felt like he was too light. I told him that he should have worn 8 lbs of extra lead, but decided to try less weight.)
