Some nice new (to me) dives

[jeckyll]

Went out today with a buddy who was camping at porteau cove. We did the porteau wall (at least I think that's where we were ). At the end of the campground we entered the water by the little pedestrian bridge and dove around to the beach on the other side.

HUGE octo at about 40+ feet. Suckers the size of loonies or toonies...

Second dive was out under the pier at porteau. Found a small octo at the end, well hidden. Very shallow dive, loads of crab and rockfish out by the end of the pier.

Good day and a new perspective on an 'old' location

back walls pretty cool, if its the same octo its been there for a while it has a few dens on the wall.
