Three ab pearls Doug found in one old abalone
Doug was still dubious about our report on yesterday's afternoon conditions, but decided to join us for another late day effort diving into the low tide. We stopped at his place where he showed us the latest additions to his extraordinary abalone pearl collection. Then out to the cove.
First - we had to get the weight belt right for the newbie.
Then back down the hill...

We found a great new spot...
