Got 10-15' the whole weekend, but it was a bit surgey, particularly on Sunday.
Did a sand dive out Sand Carlos North. Some great black-eyed hermit crabs with barnacles on their shells and all, so not too bad, but I had a leaking octo, so that wasn't a wildly fun dive for me because I was glued to my gauge. Did BW and saw the usual suspects as well as a good sized ling off the wall.
Sunday, I did both dives at McAbee. Nice cabs, nice ling, sculpins and crabs everywhere, and on the first dive, had a particularly playful harbor seal try to pull off my buddy's foot. Unfortunately, I had no external strobe (flooded manual controller in the PIs and waiting for sync cord to come in) and my macro lens attached so there was no way I was getting off a shot of him. Should have some nice crab, shrimp, and sculpin shots once I compel my lazy butt to upload my pix.

Interesting. Usually, the Black-Eyed Hermit Crabs are all over the place in the sandIshie:
around The Barge, but there weren't ANY on Sunday, and I looked for about 20 minutes.
I wonder if there's some seasonal movement into shallower water.

We were in about 50' while seeing them, so no idea? Maybe they all took a day trip to the metridium fields. I do think I spotted a little tour bus.

I'm up for some diving this weekend - Saturday and/or Sunday.
What time @ El Torito, Dano?
Edit: whoops - just noticed that this was LAST weekend. If anyone's diving THIS weekend, let me know.

Driving by San Carlos today, everything is glassy and vis looks good. Unfortunately, it is supposed to change tonight
