Here is a video from the trip. Apologies we don't have more, but my camera video button was inverted (user error).

Temps were 60 at the surface, and 47 at 60 feet.
Visibility was probably 10-20 feet. It was quite nice at 30'
We conducted two dives, as two teams. There were John Adsit (boulderjohn), James Williams (amascuba) and I as one team for Dive one. We floated a flag out about a hundred yards, which was about in 30' of water. We descended there, plan was max depth 60'. We swam out to 60 and it got pretty chilly, and very very dark. It was a bit murkier here, so we didn't spend much time there and ventured back to about 30 feet, and then spent the rest of the dive at 30 feet. Didn't see any fish except a few dead trout. Found some trash and trinkets. Really nice and relaxing, and the vis from 30' to the surface was probably in the 15-20 range. At 20 feet you could clearly see the surface.
Second dive, was just James and I. We took the scooters out to 30', then went 13 mins south, and back. We didn't see anything but more of the same, but it was a bit darker due to cloud cover. On the way back we encountered the other team (of three this time) and buzzed about then managed to find the line from the buoy so we knew we were back at the entry point. We opted to go five minutes north, and came across some amazing and giant boulders that were quite interesting, but came up pretty quick while we were on scooters. Next time i'd play in there some more, as there is more to see in the nooks and crannies there.
We came back 5 minutes and ended the dive.
All in all, we had perfect weather and good enough visibility to make the driving worth it.
