Did a dive today with John L and another diver Mike at Back Beach. This was the first time I dove there since I was certified there last year. I think that it is one of the more under rated dive sites in the Cape Ann area.
We did two dives to about 30 feet each and we probably could have gone deeper if we had really looked, but we didn't. Instead we hung around the rocks and there was plenty to see. I saw many lobstas, but they were kinda soft shelled so I didn't want to grab them too much, because I was afraid that I'd end up crushing them and that wouldn't have done either one of us any good. Instead I screwed around with them though, which I think is quite fun.
John and Mike even saw a 4 ft lobsta. I asked them why didn't they try to catch it, the said that they were afraid. Sounds like a lobsta story to me though. The visibility was good and temp about 50.
