I planned to shoot wide angle at Kevin's Reef and then macro at another location but forgot my vacuum pump for my housing. I was unable to change lenses between dives so we made our second dive at Resort Point.

The yellow faced garibaldi was no longer here but several other fish enjoyed cruising around his former rock. Black sea hares were found mating and making spaghetti at each site. Water temps are still warm at 57°.

I've been working overtime every day including Saturday, so I was too drained to work on photos last night. Here's a few more from Kevin's Reef.

The real excitement began at the end of our day. As we motored past the Avalon wreck I stopped to retrieve a large plastic bag. Instead, we were treated to a very large Mola Mola who hung around for several minutes. Nobody got in the water after our long day so any photos were taken from the surface. We missed the best photo opportunity. The sunfish suddenly bolted away, diving a few feet before rocketing out of the water. Lots of oohs and ahs were heard but no shutter clicks.
