Surge, dirty water and a baitball at White Point Rock

[MaxBottomtime]

After anchoring near White Point Rock this morning we had a large baitball create a feeding frenzy among the birds, dolphins and sea lions. Under water, we had a baitball obscure the ambient light so much that it became a night dive for a few moments. Merry was buzzed by a sea lion who zipped through the shadow of fish.
Visibility was poor, about four to five feet and we had surge throughout both dives. The cold water has returned. After a couple weeks of balmy 55F water it was back down to 51F.

Poor image of an Ategema alba. I included it because of its little hitch hiker.

Great Footage of the Hermit!

Love the rhinopores in the surge, and the little hairy-footed fellow gingerly testing the water.

Nice video!
What video camera, housing, lighting, etc, etc are you using?

 

[MaxBottomtime]

Sony HDR-HC9, Ocean Images housing with Pro Watt 100w lights. I used stacked macro lenses yesterday because I didn't expect any visibility.

I don't know why but I never get tired of the nudies.
