Saved the Dive!
My husband and I had rented gear from another shop, and excitedly drove the three hours to get to the famous Blue Heron Bridge. We got there at the perfect time to get in, right about 5:30PM, which matched the slack tide. This dive requires you be there right at slack tide or you end up in some scary current! As soon as we got in the water, my husband's fin broke. We are from California. This is was our only real chance at this site! We saw BHBS shop on site when we pulled in, so I stayed in the water while he ran to the shop.
I started talking to a fellow diver in the water, who saw that I was distressed. I told him that I was worried that he wouldn't be able to get another fin in time, and we would miss the tide. It just so happened that the diver I was speaking with was Jonathan, who is the manager at the shop. THE SHOP WAS CLOSED! None the less, Jonathan helped me get fins on the hubby quick, and we made the dive. He did this for nothing. No money was exchanged, he just wanted us to be able to make the dive and bring them back when we finished.
The dive was incredible! I highly recommend you not only see the sea horses, octopus, baracuda, eels (and so many more) creatures that await you there, but please rent your gear from this high-quality shop with high-quality individuals of great character.
I can not say enough about Jonathan and his staff. Thank you for saving the day! read more
