Notes and Highlights: Sole Searchers Dive club (based in LA) saw my Deadhenge video (link) online and contacted me regarding showing them where it was. Happy to do it...16 in total converged on Crescent. Conditions had gotten a bit less flat than the earlier dive, but still very manageable 1-2 foot sets. There was a bit of northwest pushing current, but the surface swim to the drop point was easy (especially for Lisa and Brad who had brought scooters). We dropped down only about a 30 second swim from the Deadhenge formation and followed it around to Deadman's reef. We broke into buddy teams at that point and most went left. I and my buddy got just around to the backside before hitting the air target - turning and heading back for the beach. Saw several short lobsters...half dozen spanish shawls and a big sheephead. 16 went in and 16 came out...uneventful exit with the nice conditions and a good time had by all!
