Ditched work for the first time in many years to go diving. :-)
Vis at Marineland was fairly poor considering the flat seas we've had for a few days. I began my dive on the offshore reefs to the East of the cove, where the vis was 5-8 feet. I spent an hour there before swimming over to the reefs to the West of the cove. Conditions here were a little better, with vis around 12-15 feet. Lots of juvenile Garibaldis darting in and out of the urchins. While taking a picture of one, I had the funny feeling that someone was watching over my shoulder. I turned around just in time to see a large Harbor seal swim away. Surf was 1-2 feet. Temp at 50 feet was 63F.
