Comments: I made an afternoon dive with MissyP at Picnic Beach. The conditions were better than I expected. We found a patch of red tide but forthe most part the vis was 15 feet. While on the surface swim out a Black Sea Nettle floated between us. Once on the reef we were treated to the most octopus I've seen on a single dive. They seemed to be in every hole. There were a few lobsters returning to the shallows and a few nudibranchs including a long Spanish Shawl, a Facelina stearnsi, several Laila cockerellis and a Prostheceraeus bellostriatus dorid. A small Sheepcrab scooted by really fast just for our entertainment. I left my camera at home, which is probably why we saw so many cool things.
