According to Bruce and other diving intelligencia in this prior thread, we were experiencing an upwelling last week that brought cold, clear water into the bay.
I met Mikemill for the first time at Lobos, and we made one dive out to the west of the sand channel to explore the shallower reefs towards Cannery Point, and hopefully come across Hole in the Wall from the back.
We didn't make it all the way, but we did have some fantastic visibility, starting at about 15ft in the cove where we descended, to more than 30ft at depth. I know Doc Wong and Kathy & Eric and a few others were out as well, so I'm eager to hear how conditions were further out of the cove!
It was also the first day for me to really try out the Flip. I'm going to need a little time to learn to shoot it well, but so far I'm pretty happy with it. The clear conditions yesterday meant I didn't get to test the low-light capabilities, but for bright light shooting, it's really not bad.
