FUN AT THE BEACH

One of our favorite spots to go diving is in Brookings behind Fred Meyer to a beach that only the locals and a few out of towner's know of. It's a great beach for tide pools, climbing on rocks, basking in the sun, and well diving. It's basically a little cove. Here's a pic of it from the top of a cliff.

Here's the divers...Randy...Paul...Dan...Ben...


Robyn and Rochelle and Alexander sat this one out.

The surf was a tad bit high for our tastes. Besides Alexander
isn't certified yet.
Here's the entry...

After swimming a VERY LONG WAY out the divers went down...
The VIZ was about one foot. Terrible...so they aborted the dive.
But all was not lost for Randy brought his new diveyak along.
Here they are filling it up.

Preparing to launch...

Now here's the great part...Warning...this is a long video...





They had a lot of fun once they got out of the breakers. Coming back in was a hilarious event.

This is pretty easy... yeah right...

wipe out!

where did they go?
Looks like the boat came in without them.

Somebody was a little tired out...

Someone else still had quite a bit of energy left...

Others just dreamed of someday going out on the boat...

We did some hiking and geocaching too but I'll save that for another day.

You got really terrific photos! The cove looks beautiful, and I love the pictures of them coming back in on the boat, before the wipeout, haha! They look like Navy Seals in the photo of the 4 of them wading out, very cool.
