Mike Reedy and I headed over to Catalina yesterday. Leaving the harbor the swell was fairly impressive and we had more wind and wind chop then expected so the trip was over was a bit rougher been expected. We were looking to dive somewhere over by the West End but with the swell we headed towards the Isthmus and finally ended up anchoring near the Submarine Tower. Mike was going to trying out a new undergarment and I had a Dive-Xtras video mount to try out.

Plans for a dive on the Tower ended when a tooth on Mike dry's suit broke and the zipper pulled apart. We were able to get it back together but we decided
to limit the dive to recreational depths so if Mike suffer a major leak we could surface quickly. So with Video housing mounted we headed off to scooter
the area to the east from the Submarine Tower. We saw the results of major squid run and there were even a few squid still in the process of mating. Also
saw a large Pacfic Angel Shark on the bottom and lots of cabezon along the dropoff and the kelp.

The video mount work great. My short body X-Scooter was very stable with the Gates TRV-900 housing mounted. Very easy to use.
