Dove Point Lobos with Mike Jimenez on Saturday. We got off to a slow start as Mike's drysuit inflator failed open as we descended for the first dive. Bad thing about that is that water comes in when you remove the hose! We swam back in, fixed the inflator and waited a bit for Mike's undergarments to dry before trying again.
Conditions were quite reasonable, especially given all the recent reports of low visibility. The end of the middle reef featured vis in the 25 foot range. Branching was really excellent. I think I counted 18 different species. We also had good luck with fish getting photo ops from mosshead warbonnets, the wolf eels Itchy and Scratchy and a six-spot prickleback. Ended up being a very productive day photographically. Pics from both me and Mike are here:
