Sean. My Strobe set off sean's strobe

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

7-armed Bat Star

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