Finally, the third attempt this year was a charm. My aerobic work also paid off to deal with the increased current and surge that are missing on the lee side of the island. These currents are great for the aqautic life, Purple Hydrocoral everywhere, all kind of colorful anemones, Blacksmith juvies filled the water column along with schooling Sargo. I was hunting pelagics(nixonos V) in particular grey suits with a spear in it, no luck. One Ling was reported and a sea lion. Next time I'll take the macro setup and for sure the big stuff will arrive. After TWO dives at Farnsworth 60-80' vis, one Kelp dive south of Eagle Rock, Shovelnose Guitar Fish came to rest five feet below where I was hoovering and one large Batray cruised by.
Kudos to the Cee Ray crew and Reef Seekers for another professional job well done.
