max. depth: 18.1 m
dive time: 58 min
notes:
We swam a 330 heading towards the marked off area in front of the Aquarium. We swam over sand. Through kelp. Through cornflakes. A small ling cod just lying in the sand. We saw what looked like power cables all over the place and finally saw a camera on a tripod aimed at a rock. I smiled for the camera. Paul, evidently disgusted by the conditions, turned around but Scott B. and I continued. Moments later the visibility opened up and we saw metridiums, a 6" red abalone, cowry, spanish shawl (my first), a small chain (although not something you want to lock your bike with as the links were one inch thick) and a larger chain with two inch links. Off in the distance, a sea lion buzzed by. On the entire surface swim back to the beach, one of those friendly harbor seals chewed on my fins. Meanwhile, a sea otter preened himself on a dive float or small kayak. Great dive!
