One Reason Why You Want Advanced Skills
There are several off-shore oil rigs we can dive in Southern California. It is only for divers with advanced cold water diving skills. You must have excellent buoyancy control and the skills to handle the unexpected conditions to enjoy this surreal beauty. The rigs are hundreds of feet deep, there is usually strong surge, and current can change suddenly. When we dive the oil rigs, we remind ourselves to take extra caution as we jump in. Then, we descend down to marvel at the underwater structure that is completely covered with sea anemones, scallops, mussels, brittle stars, etc. and see large schools of fish and sea lions swim around us.
