Notes and Highlights: Dove with Scott and Josh - welcome back Josh! The happy, new father returned to certainly bad conditions...but it's the best diving he's been able to do for quite a while now...

Relatively easy in with the surf not causing any issues...lots of surface chop from the wind, and the conditions below weren't any better. Dropped down pretty early and worked our way on the outside of the reef. Briefly stuck our heads in by the Arch - but that was a no-go for today. Saw some Hopkin's Roses by the Arch, some lobsters, a black-eyed goby and not much of anything else with the surge and bad vis. Low tide dive - surf hadn't really increased on our exit - so no issues. Bad vis and bad surge, but overall a good time had by all!
