Abalone Diving 2012
16 05 2011The 2012 season is over and it was a good one for me. I was able to score three abalone over 10″ on my last 3 dives including my personal record. I have started building my 2013 model “Kelp Skimmer” dive boards. I have improved them by adding two spear gun or long bar holders as well as an attachment point for a game bag on the back that will keep speared fish in the water while protecting them from seals and birds. When it is time to head for shore you just move it to the top of the board and secure it with the bungee cord on top of the mounted bag. I doubled the strength of the shoulder strap attachment points and that of the mounted game bag. I have also added more velcro and brass connectors for equipment. Though the bags are costing me more to build in materials I am keeping the price the same for the time being. If you want one, send me an email or call me. No money is necessary until you take delivery of the board.
“Grey Fin Films” (a production group I belong to) is continuing to work on our production of a documentary movie on abalone diving. This has given us an excuse to dive during the off season when the conditions have permitted. It is easier to focus on getting specific shots for the movie while not being distracted by the big abalone we are seeing. It is always hard to stay focused on the shoot when abalone are in season and you see what might be a 10″er…
So happy new year, have fun and dive safe!
