Did you decline on the way back or did the vis?

wow. I totally had to re-read that a few times to figure out what I was trying to say. Strange correcting thing happening!

The Viz. That's what declined on the way towards shore!

Still nice to be out diving.

One thing I was seeing early last year and year before was Chromodoris. However, I have not seen them in awhile. Have you? It seems they came in on the warm water of a few years ago but might be gone now.

ya know! Honestly, I haven't seen that guy. Lots of Aeolids and chubby fat yellow dorids recently. That monterey facebook group has LOTS n LOTS of photos of what others have been photographing. I keep packing my camera but leaving it topside while I get used to my newish drysuit.

I find all the best stuff when I leave my camera topside. I've seen some monster yellow Dorids there lately.

Yikes.

Two dives, one in Monterey and the other, Carmel; two meters of visibility -- tops.

Plankton bloom and a little swell in Carmel; dive by Braille . . .

 

[uspap]

Thanks BB. I think I will stick to the Mountain Biking until the bloom passes.

Oh, bleck. I had a bit more than that in Pleasanton's Shadow Cliffs quarry yesterday afternoon. And I was a bit warm in my 2.5 mm shorty. Good to know, thanks for the report.
