Today 12 members made it out for an end of summer dive. Our destination was the Glendora, a wreck similar to others of the area. We had excellent clear skies even with the smog advisory. We entered that water and descended to the bottom 71 feet down. The temperature for the dive was in the low 60’s; it was very comfortable in a 7mm wetsuit today. There was a slight drop in temperature around the 72-foot mark. The various pairs spent from 30 minutes to 50 minutes in the water on the wreck. There was not an abundance of life on the wreck just the normal guppies and zebra muscles. The openness of the wreck did allow some divers to swim through the wreck. By the end of our dives the light had greatly diminished. As we sailed back to harbor we were treated to a beautiful sunset. Unfortunately a lot of the pictures that were taken under water came back a little to dark.
