We need to dive up there..
Went to the bridge for diving on Wednesday, and snorkeling only today. It was not crowded on Wednesday, it was very crowded today. Sorry, I just don't see the attraction for all these people to pile on to that little margin of a beach when there are miles of beautiful ocean beach 3-10 minutes down the road. Anyway, the visibility on Wednesday was not much better than Monday, about 25 hazy feet. It seemed to be a little improved today definitely much more blue and about 30ft. Sea temp was 85f. Did REEF fish surveys on both days, about 65 species on each in 70 minutes. I observed a decapod (dead) which I have not been able to identify, it looks more like a Crayfish than a Lobster. Found a Dusky Jawfish out and about with no borough near by, very unusual for jawfish to be out in the open like that. I did another Spiny Lobster video, say if you can count how many. Respectively, Unidentified Crayfish Like Decapod, Dusky Jawfish, Redear Herring, Graysby, Dusky Jawfish Video, Redear Herring Video, and Lobster Lineup Video.

Wow, 14-15?
I count 16.
I dove last night with @SubNeo. It started as a twilight dive which ended in a night dive. We went east. We didn't find much. I checked my computer mid dive, it was 83 degrees, a little cooler than I expected. I chose to dive in a skin, expecting the temp to be around 87. Luckily, I didn't get cold. The coolest thing I found was more skeleton shrimp than I could count on one sponge covered in hydroids. Of course, this only happened because @Scuba_Jenny wasn't there. Mid dive, I noticed some fishing tackle wrapped around one of the fishing dock pylons. I motioned Michael over so he could collect it as trash. On the other side of the pylon was a fish (I think it was a hog) hooked into the tackle and stuck to the pylon. We did our best to try and get the hook out, but it would absolutely freak out. We cut the line as close to the hook as possible to let it free. Michael then cut the tackle off the pylon so he could collect the trash. Visibility was good, a slightly hazy 35 ft.
Some day.. or night.. you will show me those skeleton shrimp. Till then, I will.....
I dunno.. dive without you?
LOL.. that was cheesy..
thanks to SubNeo and you for saving the fish.

Here are a few more to share from our dive Wed afternoon. Not sure what that mystery snail is but I think the second one is a small dark mantis which was a first for us. Lots of garden eels, friendly crabs and even a tiny Pederson shrimp. We ventured off to the west side for a change but there was not much going on in the grassy area. Most of these were along the western snorkel trail. Seem to have hit a new limit of 'only 5 attachments' .. ah well.
Super cheesy!
