Gerstle Cove w/ Freedive Addict Crew

08.19.2011 FRIDAY - Gerstle Cove

Dove with CCup and Issac. It was there first time there, my second. Visibility was averaging around 7ft, deepest depth was 25 ft, and water temp at 50 degrees.

It was a nice dive, minus the rollers, that turned me green!

@tomatoberries OMG.. the algae bloom up north is bad.... we only had 1 ft vis this sat.  How did you do?

[mattmattison]

nice job on the fish and being selective on the abalone !!! your bottom has greatly improved from the first dive we did at fisk mill.

@vincelee7676 i think i read somewhere that starfish cut off their arms on purpose and it grows back and the detached arm grows into another adult starfish..... good day :)

Hello fellow abalone divers, I need your help. Each time when I dive for abalones, I see many sunflower starfish. Yes, the ones with 20 arms. They eat many abalone and sea urchins. I always carry a sissors and cut them up. If you guys would do the same, that would be great! Let's take out these predators of abalones, and there will be more abalones for us to get in the future. thank you for reading.
