    I appreciate the disclaimer you gave right before the dive!

    Is that goldfish entry point always accessible? Tides? Too steep for a uncordinated 55y/o?

    • @RomanCastroVlog
      @RomanCastroVlog  3 года назад +1

      Hi Greg, There is an easy entry point with two sets of stairs with rails all the way down to the beach. Then from there it's a semi protected beach right into the reserve. You won't have to scale the rocks like we did in this video.

      Thanks Afran! It makes me want to go dive some more. My session died right after we got in so I didn't do as much talking as I would have liked.

    Great video - looking to snorkel La Jolla in the next couple of weeks. What wet suit are you wearing, and what do you recommend? I'm used to South Florida snorkeling, the water is much warmer over there. :)

    • @RomanCastroVlog
      @RomanCastroVlog  5 лет назад +1

      Hi Clockwerkz, a 3mm or 5mm suit would work well. I’m wearing an old 5mm open cell suit I use for Freediving. You can rent a suit, mask, snorkel, freedive fins and weight belt at James and Joseph Spearfishing. You can’t spearfish in the reserve but that’s the best gear if you are Freediving.
      A cheaper option is renting a full wetsuit from one of the kayak rental places near La Jolla Shores.
      Good luck!

    How thick is your freediving suit and what was the water temp?

    • @RomanCastroVlog
      @RomanCastroVlog  7 лет назад +3

      Hi Finchman1, It was a 5mm back in 2012. Now it feels like a 2-3mm with some holes in it. Temp was around 62.
      A new 5mm would be perfect.

    What kind of camera & lens cover do you use for your dives?

    • @RomanCastroVlog
      @RomanCastroVlog  4 года назад +1

      Hi Julian, most of the underwater shots in this video are with a gopro session 5. Talking parts before the dive are shot on a Sony Alpha5100 with 10-20mm Lens

    all the things I hate about LJ.. calicos, langos, and garibaldi everywhere.. and all the things I love.. all the sheepies, jack macks (5:17?), rock wrasse and perch.. beautiful footage.. might get some footage of a moray hunt later if I can..

    • @RomanCastroVlog
      @RomanCastroVlog  7 лет назад

      Thanks Coach Werf! Do you eat Moray's or catch/release?

    • @werftv4580
      @werftv4580 7 лет назад

      I never release a moray.. I only remove them from places where I worry about my kids getting bit. They do make good soup though..

    In the
    80s we would pack a pipe load in a sandwich bag with a lighter and it was 420 time..... high school snorkeling summers many dry areas under the caves to rest on at mid low tide..

      Hi Nick! Let's go! I'm re-banding Valerie (My Double Roller) I want to kayak out to the kelp and see if we can smash some WSB or Yellowtail.

    • @RideAlongside

      Sweet! Lets do it. I still don't have a gun, only my pole spear, but can't wait to get back in the water. Its been too long.

    Do you have to wear a wet suit?

    • @RomanCastroVlog
      @RomanCastroVlog  3 года назад

      Hi Jessica, you don't but it helps to stay warm and for abrasion resistance. The temperature there can get down to mid 50's in winter and up to 70 in the summer.
      My advice is to wear a wetsuit so you can stay in the water longer.

    Hi, I'm going next week, I wonder where do you keep your car key when you go in the water?

    • @RomanCastroVlog
      @RomanCastroVlog  6 лет назад +1

      Hi Lisa, I take my non electronic valet key on a lanyard around my neck (inside my wetsuit). The water is so warm right now. You are going to have a blast.
