Two dives today off of Dave's boat. The swell was a bit up, so we stayed in the bay for a deep and then shallow dive. Visibility was reduced from earlier in the week, but still a solid 20'. Today was spent hunting for the small critters. A challenging day, with the two shots above coming from the last 3 minutes of the dive day. More below.
