Tropical conditions at Yankee Pt., CA

[rhlee]

Hi All,

It's been pretty sparse on dive reports here recently, so I thought I'd interrupt some of the usual banter with pretty pictures and video :-D

We had a pretty epic dive on Sat. at Yankee Pt. that I thought I would share. In short:
100'+ viz
huge baitballs of juvenile rockfish
mola parade on deco
wolf eels
bat ray
... the list goes on

Unbelievable, this is the type of visibility that I had in Kauai and in Kona, if not better. I thought I had it good, since I could see the surface from 80 feet below at Monastery, on Sunday. Looks like I was just scratching the tip of the iceberg. Let's cross our fingers that these "favorable" conditions hold for the entire winter. Thanks for sharing the wonderful videos.
