Seward, Alaska 05/20 at the Shackle

I went diving on the first boat trip of the season out of Seward on Saturday. Weather was beautiful, sunny and warm (50's). We dove the Shackle. The viz was a typical 10'. We were buzzed by Sea Lions throughout the dive. At 90' I saw a halibut approximately 4' long It was huge. I missed the shot of it though. I saw other fish and many invertebrates.

Avg depth on first dive ws 54' and on second dive was 52'. Viz was typical considering the plankton bloom - (poor). Camera is an Oly C5050, PT015 housing and Inon 2000W strobe. Nothing fancy, very compact for travel but old technology (5 MPix).

Interested in diving with me sometime in Whittier? I'm off to Rhode Island for some dives and a conference until after June 4th. Always looking for dive buddies locally in Whittier. Be back in June. PM me if you are interested in diving.

Sent you a PM
