Nice They just asking divers when they check out what the vis was?

Not sure if this was posted earlier. Looks like the fine employees at Point Lobs are now updating the dive calendar with visibility reports: Dive Calendar | Point Lobos Foundation

How do we thank them? This is a real service.

I was thinking more of internet feedback, but feeding the rangers isn't a bad idea either.

Feed 'em and they may follow you home...

I got called the "Cookie Pusher" there before. The cookies traveled all the way to the entrance kiosk even.

Dove Breakwater today, it was great, nice and calm, viz between 15-20 feet along the wall. Lots of nudis. By the way, does anyone know the name of a nudibranch, about 5 inches long, all purple and very feathery on the back. It was stunning, I thought it was a Spanish Dancer but I am not sure anymore.

Sounds like a Rainbow Nudibranch. Did it look like this?

If it was purple, it might have been a Spanish Shawl, Flabellina iodinea, although those don't get anything like 5" long. But the magnifying properties of whatever can be deceiving.
