Dark green water under a perpetual marine layer, bumpy seas and the occasional blistering current didn't make for the most inspired dives this month. Even trying a couple new spots didn't help much. I'm glad to hear that Jeff Reeb had good vis at the channel islands. Maybe we'll get some of that here this week.

Does anyone have an idea what kind of eggs these are?

I found 5 Limacia on Halfway Reef...this shows how small they are.
