Monterey Weekend

Ok, so Sage and I are taking a few students down to Monterey to get their open water certs this weekend. I just checked the Monterey weather conditions and its not looking like its going to be the best weekend we've ever had, but it should still be pretty good in the water! As of now, the forcast is 3-5 foot swells with winds out of the SW at approximately 10 kt, and it looks like we won't have to worry too much about sunscreen as we are supposed to have showers on Friday, Saturday and maybe Sunday. Current water temperature is 53 degrees with 5-10 feet of visibility.
I also just learned that there will be a fishing tournament for a Veteran's Association, so the jetty will be packed. Should be fun to see what kind of fish they pull in! I'll be taking lots of pictures and posting conditions, so stay tuned!

Welcome To My Blog!


Hi, I'm Brennda, a PADI Dive Instructor...thanks for checking out my blog! I love, love, love to dive. But even more than that, I love to teach people how to dive. My feeling is that the more people I can get to experience the thrill of the under water world, the more that people will want to preserve it! If you have never witnessed first hand the sleek graceful image of a California Sea Lion zipping through the water or felt the jaw dropping, adrenaline rush of seeing a Great Hammerhead disappearing into the blue, then why would you ever want to help save it? I can tell you from experience, once you do see something that only a handful of people in the world have seen, you will be hooked! Not only to dive, but to help conserve!

Introducing Sage....My Blue Mountain Dingo Diving Buddy! Sage is my 3 year old pup who I rescued from the SPCA when she was just 3 months old. In her young life, she has been to the ocean more than most adults, and on any given weekend, you might see her down in Monterey helping me teach a class. If you happen to see Sage, stop by and say hi, she loves meeting new fellow divers!
