Dive 6: Salt Pier. We noticed something breaching the water a bit north of the dive site. We geared up and went in the water past the "thing". As we swam toward the pier, we were greeted by a very large fun loving sea turtle whose head we had kept seeing pop out of the water. It escorted us the rest of the way to the pier. I found four octopus this dive, three scorpionfish, red banded snapping shrimp, and the usual collection of barracuda/tarpon/snapper/etc. At the end of the dive we ran into a silverside supernova in the shallows.
Pro Tip: If you see a pile of bi-valve shells while diving salt pier (or any place), there is probably an octopus daytime roosting under/near them. Don't be a dick and mess with them. Octopus like to decorate their "homes".
