Gerstle Cove, Dec. 2010

We are scuba diving in Gerstle cove in salt point state park in northern California.
I felt like I was swimming in an aquarium. We had great visability and calm seas.
I am using a Canon HF M30 video camera and edited it with Cyberlink power director 9.
I am still having trouble with the audio cutting out but I am working on it.
Hope you enjoy.

hey how deep did you dive? wow thats a lot of fish considering your doing off-shore diving. We take our boat down the ramp and dive @ around 45-70ft. We do some spear fishing but just smaller rock fish. Not much link cod

@danielblushtein

No spear fishing allowed at Gerstle. We were only about 30 to 40 feet deep.

What housing do you use for the camcorder?

[NCUWHdiverdave]

@TRAV293 The water proof housing is made by Cannon. It has limited adjustments: power on, record and zoom. It is good for 120 feet. The sound is muffled while in the housing.

The camera has an under water color balance that I prefer not to use.

Awesome Vid. I've always wanted to explore Nor Cal and this makes me want to even more. Thanks for sharing it with us. I noticed your group dives wet. What temps should I expect at Gerstle Cove in the Spring / Summer?

[NCUWHdiverdave]

@Frankpro1

High 40 to low 50.

If you have a dry suit I would use it.

Respond to this video...  Unfortunately I'm still diving wet but this winter has brought colder water temps to So Cal, so switching to a dry suit might be in my near future. My last two dives were in 49 degrees and while it was cold, it wasn't unbearable. Thanks for the info.
