Better conditions than last week, but still...

[MaxBottomtime]

We tried to time the nearly seven feet high tide this morning at Buchanan's Reef. We dropped in thirty minutes prior to the tide and found a strong current with dirty water. Business as usual. The current subsided midway through our dive and we had a decent twelve feet of visibility on the reef. The water had warmed up five degrees from last week to 59F.

Thanks for sharing MAX. Great, now summer is over and the water temp goes up.
Well at least the VIS should improve as we go into the fall/winter.

Another Ronquil?

Are they common on more offshore sites? Or possibly a seasonal sighting?

There are a lot of them on the Avalon. I saw three at Buchanan's, including a mating pair. They seem to hide in cracks until I've been near them for ten minutes or so, then they come out to see if I'm a predator or prey.
