THe Jack Mackerel continued to pass us

Sean took this photo, this fish thought he was a dog, it kept trying to nuzzle sean.

My strobe didn't work on the 2nd boat dive, Candlesticks. I managed a photo of this nudibranch. The dive was nice though!

Atagema alba nudibranch

2nd Day, 1st dive: Eagle Reef. Vis was over 60ft below 100ft depth.

Lingcod

Finger sponge and brittle stars

Sea Fan and brittle stars

Canary Rockfish

THe last dive was at little white rock. The site was surgy in the shallows, but full of life.
