My wife and I dove the east span today. The viz was...well, less than stellar, but we got wet that's all that matters. Looking horizontal we were greeted with a dark green hue and not the near gin clear water of our previous dives. A light was definitely needed under the bridge.
The usual critters were there including a small approximately 1 foot spotted moray ell. We saw a few small lobsters and a tiny, tiny flounder.
My wife used her mother's day present for the first time, a Nikon L20 with Ikelite housing. A very nice camera for our, umm her, purposes. She did get a few decent photos, nothing worth posting, but much better than the film camera she was using. An external strobe is definitely needed, but we'll have to wait a bit for that. For some reason I find it hard to believe that the strobe is the same price as the camera and housing. I don't know why but I do.
There were several divers there today which I was quite surprised about being that it was a week day, but then I forget that it is summertime so maybe that had something to do with it.
Anyways, it was worth the hour and a half drive for 57 minutes of bottom time.
