Time: 8:30am
Location: Shaw's Cove
Depth (feet): 47
Dive Time (minutes): 60
Surf (feet): 1-2
Surge (feet): 2-3
Water Temp (fahrenheit): 57
Visibility (feet): 8-10
Visibility Description: murky
Notes and Highlights: Dove with Len - looked at Diver's but that spot looked pretty surgey...moved to Shaw's. Easy in, and dropped down pretty quick...vis was murky and maybe 10 feet. Went halfway through the main passage to Crescent - got white out in the middle so we turned back...went up the outside of the reef. Stopped by Shelly, and then past to the end of the reef (tube anemone country) and around back through the cut by Turn-Around Rock. The vis was a lot clearer inside that cut. Saw a bunch of Hopkin's Roses, Spanish Shawls and a Cockerell's Dorid. Black-eye Gobies, a single Bluebanded Goby, Blacksmiths in schools, and a small Sheepcrab. Visibility is poor, and there are bursts of surge - but the dive conditions are better than working, and a good time was had by all.
