"Let's go Diving"
Forget 5lbs, you are allowed to bring up anything one person can carry without any help of tools and such which they say is 80 lbs. So now you are talking $300-$800 if Papa Bear's numbers are correct. That will surely pay for your dive, but what about getting it and just keeping it for yourself or giving it to someone you know as a gift? You are still having a blast diving and finding things.
When I was in California last year, we went to the Channel Islands, when I found out about Big Sur and the jade our vacation was just about over. Now I know the next time I am out there I want to do some diving there.
Papa Bear, I love all of the photos you have been posting recently.
Here I am with a female buddy crawling out at North Jade Cove back in 1973! Water temp in August was 49* but we were hunting the green stuff! BTW all the doors in my house have 5lb door stops of pure Nephrite Jade!![]()

Here is the trail down to the North Cove and going down isn't bad at all! It is the hick up and if you got the Green it makes it even more fun! It's very close to gold fever...... You can take it 60 miles up the coast to Monetary where there is a world class jade artist who will carve something cool for you for a pretty reasonable Price!

I was always ready to take all the Jade at Jade Cove, but there was just so much of it! 33 years later and they are still bringing tons of the stuff out! Well maybe not tons, but the better hunters do all right! BTW it is a great dive below the bull kelp even if you don't find a lot of the Green stuff!

when was the last time you or anyone has dove there? It's not that far away so I might just have to go down there and give it a shot.
A couple years ago I trekked back and all was good! The Kelp and the trail had changed a little! Sand Dollar beach to the North used to be a big sandy beach and it was real rocky the last time! You are close enough for a day run! I would do it! I might bring some friends up in August? Depends on my schedule?
