Wow scub! A whole hour! You forgot to tell how deep! What like 30 feet? I bet you knew what way was up right? Take the tanks or at least talk to the locals first.

20 to 40 ft in the jetty. I'm thinking a pony tail. Never dove " real caves" but did channels near Laguna and underpass at Jade Cove near Big Sur. The latter being most involved dive in my career.

Ok so you showed me you're an advanced scub. You probably got a scuba dive flag on your car. I would be careful and consider visibility as number one danger. Buy a PH kit. That will tell you if the water's safe enough. I wouldn't dive in any water that's lower than 5 and higher than 7, 7.5 tops. You could get a better test kit but I'm pretty sure the PH alone would turn you away.

Sweeet! Thanx man!
And I do have 2 diver's flags on my car one is in a shape of a lobster!

You're welcome but I think that waters no good to dive in a wetsuit and scuba gear.

I used to have a blue and white flag on the back window of my last work truck.

What does blue and white stand for? Dumpster diving?

Haha you scoobys! A blue and white flag means there's a commerical diver down. Stay 500 feet away.

I don't know about that...commercial meaning you lift shit up from the bottom of the ocean and treasure hunt for rich foulks or what?

Google it scub. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profe…

It's a little more involved than buried treasure. I tell you what zero vis is like. That's why I'm telling you to stay outta of the water in that cave.

So we are going in the next few days. I will test the Ph of the water in lake, although I see that some guys dive in raw sewage I am not so worried. I have my tetanus and hepatitis shots. As for visibility I am not intending on penetrating any caves while free diving in the lake, so if the vis goes there will be no problem with exiting etc. I now have learned that there are jobs out there much dirtier than mine!
