I hired all my gear and some tanks for us and we went out on a cold spring evening. It didn't all go as planned and within 20min we were back on dry land after trying for ages to to get out past the breaking waves. This was also my first night dive so maybe a step too far for my limited, yet refined experience.

Diving at La Jolla
Now before we start, 'La Jolla' is pronounced la-hoya, not la-joller like all you fellow Saffers would say it (just as I did).
Nathan and I decided to go catch some lobster on the Thursday night so we could pig out on Friday.

Saturday we tried again, and by day we fared tonnes better. We had two fantastic dives even if the water was only 50°F. There was much to see including Sea Lions, Sharks, Bat Rays, King Crab, Lobster and many other types of fish. It was not actually that cold through your 7mm wetsuit especially if you never resisted the urge, only your face burns like hell from the cold.
