Monastery and Breakwater Night Dive 1-15-09

[Coll]

Monastery was unbelievable! 50 ft vis, no surge whatsoever, looked like a lake. In fact, we did the crawl only so we could have a picture of it, really we could have walked out easily.

Depth 68 ft, vis 50ft, no surge, 60 minutes under.

Did a night dive at Breakwater that day also, about 15 foot vis, really nice conditions again and my first sighting of a squid!

Vis 15ft, depth 45ft, time 45 minutes, temp either 47 or 52 depending on who's computer you trust.

Did a dive at McAbee this morning which I'll post another report for later, suffice it to say it was great also.

Quick question, is that last picture a Staghorn sculpin?

Nice pics. Clinton, Allison and I also did a night dive at BW last night, and saw a squid also. Re: your last pic, I think it is a pacific staghorn; we saw one too.

Our pics are here:

Those are great shots! I'm jealous of those squid shots, they came out better than mine We must have just missed you, what time were you guys there? We arrived at 5 pm and were out and gone around 7ish.
