Date: April 4, 2008
Time: 7:30am
Location: Deadman's Reef/Crescent
Depth (feet): 44
Dive Time (minutes): 80
Surf (feet): 1-2
Surge (feet): 1-2
Water Temp (fahrenheit): 50-54 - a lot of 50
Visibility (feet): 5-10
Visibility Description: murky
Notes and Highlights: Dove with Kevin - been a while...nice easy entry through negligible surf and a leisurely swim out the drop down point past Seal Rocks. Dropped down and found Deadhenge pretty quick...and followed it into the reef. Spent a slow-moving dive around and on top of the reef...water was cold...quite a bit of 50 degree areas with some shallower at 54. A lot of Spanish Shawls - some with eggs, Tylodina fungina (which I still don't have any reasonable pics of), a large sheep crab, small moray, octopi, a large Cabezon and assorted reef fish in good number.
Kevin did a great job leading and spotting potential photo subjects. Very relaxing (albeit cold) swim back into the shallows near the beach for an easy exit, and a good time had by all...click the pic below for the quick slide show.
