WOW. Jaw Dropping. This is really eye opening to me. This is a familiar spot to me as a private boat angler and this video pretty much sums up most of my trips here. (Don't really fish it as a result) The area really lacks any larger/adult fish. What surprised me most is the fact that there is no growth, coral, plants, or much else... seems so barren.
Hi Frank - everyone who's seen it feels the same way. The geography is beautiful, and it's certainly a rockfish nursery, but it was almost devoid of adult fish. It's a well-known spot and I believe the charter boats and recreational boats hammer it pretty hard.
@@RossOverstreetI agree...When I was younger I worked on the charter boats out of Malibu...we caught many adult rockfish day in and day out ffffv or years...took a great toll on the ecosystem...we used up to ten baited hooks and the daily bag limit was 15 per angler
Crazy fucker - thanks for the video - i want to do tech so bad - i do solo dives to 110` - At what FSW do you start to notice a real difference in it being harder to breath?
Air starts to feel “thick” around 160ft and work of breathing starts to become noticeable. The helium content of trimix makes it feel much less dense and easier to breathe. It’s hard to tell if you’re breathing it from the surface all the way down, but it’s noticeable if you switch back and forth between air and tri-mix at depth.

Great job! Please make more of these type of videos!
Great video... I was very surprised how good the vis was at 200ft. The huge school of fish was awesome.
Great dive
Wow, that's amazing! i can't believe what great viz was down there.
Niiiiiiiiice vid, Ross!

Nice video! Overfished a little maybe?
Thought there would be much more life than appeared in the video
