Fort Ross Reef

back to my home page. To see a map of this area.

We had a fun Abalone Dive at Fort Ross Reef, May 11th, 1996 when the visibility in the ocean was an incredible 20 feet. We could see the bottom, while drifing on the surface. The second picture here is of my goody bag with two abalone in it. Now the contorted abalone look like I have a severed head in the bag.

These pictures come from several trips near the end of the abalone season in 1995 when I suddenly got the bug to try out this sport and stock up on abalone for the winter.
Here's Paul comming down the cliff to meet me, getting ready, and back sucessfully from the hunt at Fort Ross Reef:
