Poor guy.....that had to hurt.....
let this be a lesson to us all. DO NOT try to climb a ladder while wearing fins.
Exactly.
I haven't been diving there, but LaJolla in SoCal might be that location....
WOW...painful...dun play play!

I don't know of any place at La Jolla that has a ladder. At first, it looked a bit like Alligator Head Rocks at the west side of the Cove, but there aren't any ladders there.
I would say that that is NOT a "beginner's exit"!
Ouch, well they say theres no remedy for being stupid :D
It was in Malta....not SOCAL, nor even in the US!Quote:

I just like the way that the camera keeps rolling with the person thinking ill make a buck out of this on a funny home video show. Gotta say ladders can be climbed with fins on but not in swell like that. Hope hes ok but thanks for the laugh. Anymore evil knievels diving out there?

This very much looks like Grand Cayman, Sunset House !

The notch directly in the left front of the pool.
With the camera person on the rocks on the left.
Very much a divers hotel just outside the main town & tourist area.
I dove there when the ladder was removable & the bottom was not attached. The waves were even bigger, going over the rocks when we got out.
Take your fins of in the water after you hug the ladder.
We actually sat on the ocean floor, took fins off, then timed it right to catch the ladder.
and again.. Ouch.
it was gozo!!!!;)
Which site? I can't recall any ladder exits except Xlendi, which is the gentlest bay I've ever seenQuote:

I have information now that it was at Gozo in Malta.
