Kevin Lee joined us for a couple of dives for the first time in nearly three months. He must have forgotten today was Easter because he left his bunny suit at home. After borrowing Merry's sweatshirt he braved the cold waters of Palos Verdes while wearing shorts under his drysuit.
Our first dive was back at the barge. We wanted to get better photos of the tiny Trinchesia albocrusta Merry found yesterday. I didn't find it until the end of the dive so Merry missed out. It is a tiny white speck on a flake of rust, so she didn't miss much. Visibility was not as nice as it was yesterday with more particulates in the water. We headed to Golf Ball Reef hoping for better conditions. We didn't find them.
Fortunately for us we have learned our way around...mostly. I had to ask Merry where the anchor was when it was only ten feet away. I found three tiny flatworms, Eurylepta californica but the highlight was a four foot horn shark that settled a few feet away from me. It allowed me to shoot seven photos while it patiently posed.
