You forgot to add that underwater sand dollar frisbee and golf ball ping-pong can be slightly frustrating!

Anyone know what this is? Missy found it on the platform and we can't find it in any Nudibranch book or website.

Comments: Susan Grant (coralcuts) joined me for her first dive to the platform and first post auto accident dive. We followed the line out to the artificial reef, passing a large Sheepcrab along the way, as well as several Lizardfish, Synodus lucioceps. A rather large halibut was nearby and even stayed for a couple other divers to see, but was gone later in the day. Surfperch and sandbass checked us out as much as we were checking them out. Below the thermocline at 27 feet the water was a brisk 50F. Vis was down from yesterday, but still good enough to see where we were going. We made it back up to the parking lot without causing any further damage to Susan's back. After she went home to get some much needed rest I plunged back in for a little shallow water nudibranch hunting. While exploring the reef I came across two octopus, one of which was out in the open. A large Batray cruised by, but too fast to get a picture.Will I ever get bored with Marineland?...No way!

Comments: I finally got the opportunity to dive with Elaine Jobin. I've been marvelled by her dive reports and images for years and was thrilled that she came along. She joined Jeff Shaw and I for two dives today while poor Ross-O had to serve as surface support until his foot heals. Thanks so much, Ross. Our first dive was at the Fog wreck. We fought our way through the ripping current to reach the anchor line, then descended into the deep. I promised Elaine and Jeff they would get to see their first Wolfeel. Much to my pleasant surprise we found two in the same hole. I reached back for my camera and was bummed to find that I must have left it on the boat. Elaine got some images of the wolfies as well as the metridiums, huge sandbass and lingcods. When we reached our safety stop I saw my camera in the corner of my eye. It was stuck under my harness. D-oh!
We then motored our way toward Marineland where we enjoyed near perfect conditions yesterday. Today it was foggy, windy and the swells were crashing into the stern of the boat at four second intervals. Jeff got pretty quesy and decided to sit this one out. Elaine ripped her neckseal and as I was beginning to feel sick, I suggested we call it a day. Then Jeff came up with a great idea. Elaine could wear his wetsuit. Jeff is 6'2". Elaine is not.
As soon as she backrolled into the water she was reminded why she prefers to dive dry. We dropped down to Buchanan's Reef where we found the usual assortment of nudis as well as a Blue Ringtop snail. We were kept company by a fair sized male Sheephead.
