Time: 6:30am/8:30am
Location: Diver's Cove
Depth (feet): 31/38
Dive Time (minutes): 50/45
Surf (feet): 1-4
Surge (feet): 2-12
Water Temp (fahrenheit): warm (no hood)
Visibility (feet): 5-12
Visibility Description: surge murky
Notes and Highlights: Dove with Len, Scott, Josh, Blake and Alex (nice to meet you)...first dive we dropped down pretty quick and onto about 1 dozen bat rays of assorted sizes. Very murky with the surge, so they didn't give us too much of a view, and no photo ops. Made our way right - over to the reef between Diver's and Fisherman's in pretty surgey, murky conditions. Got buzzed by a sea lion that I didn't see...some lobsters, a medium sized cabezon and the remains of a sheep crab which was being taken care of by urchins...found a little, blue beach shovel that my 3 year old son will like.
...second dive we decided to go left and check out the reef that's 150 degrees over the sand. Visibility over the sand in 20 feet was a little cleaner and opened up 10+ ...not great, but enjoyable. Got over the reef and found a bunch of tiny Spanish Shawl's, a tiny crab, painted greenlings, rock pool blennies, and many large bass and sheephead. A small bait ball circled us a few times too...overall a good time had by all.
A very small, very camouflaged crab
Rock Pool Blennies - I think they should be "Reindeer Blennies"
"Remains of the Day"
