Just outside Still Water is a dive site called Dolly's Wall and probably has about 5 other names. It ranges from 30'-75'. There is some cool structure, and is the first place I saw a
while :diver: cold water :cool3: It was a 5 ft leopard shark. Also saw a tree fish that day and lots of other cool stuff. I have never dove Still Water Cove though, and probably won't be, just because the vis is better outside the cove.Enjoy your dives!
Both of us arrived at 8:00am to find flat conditions. Walked in and walked out. Visibility averaged a cloudy 20-25 feet and a moderate to strong surge persisted through out the dive. South Monastery Beach is super site. If offers a varied sandy terrain with large and long rock formations. It's like swimming from small reef to small reef. Even with the less than stellar visibility and surge, still had a great dive.
The visibility and surge were a bit better at the northern end, but only marginally. Got down to 60 feet and could still feel it. One of the local dive boats (Escapade or Beach Hopper) had anchored at the northern end in shallow waters. Was able to sneak up on a large Lind Cod and swam behind and over it. The darn thing didn't even budge. Also saw a Cabezon about the length of my arm. Nice see to large size fish.
Exited with 1100 psi (43minutes) and 900 psi (49 minutes) respectively. Dive computer showed 52 degrees but felt a lot colder.
