Sunday I made three dives. The first was at Green Bridge and was very surge-y. I was with a newish diver who was having some mask issues and was getting her first dive of the season in. We ended up puttering around the cove looking for tropicals (which we didn’t find).
We decided to give a crack at FTW, which is reliably mediocre. When we arrived one of the instructors told me their were lots of baitfish in the cove and small tuna and cormorants were picking them off while his class sat on the bottom and watched. I didn’t see any tuna, but I did get a glimpse of a cormorant swimming away from me (the video wasn’t very good). We found plenty of stuff to look at (see the video).
I had 1500 psi left in my 120, so I went for a 32 minute solo night dive. A couple people in the know gave me approximate directions on how to find two of the known octopuses. Condition were excellent, but I wasn’t able to find either spot and although pleasant, I didn’t see any of my nocturnal favorites. Someone did report seeing an 18” squid in mid water of the cove
(not me).
