I squeezed in a morning dive at the Coast Guard Breakwater Wednesday morning before driving home to Healdsburg. I had stopped by Backscatter after my dive on Tuesday and purchased a new optical viewfinder which makes it much easier to see my Canon T2i's through the lens view. I was eager to try it out and I'm really pleased with it. To see more from this dive please go to:

I was surprised when I arrived at the Coast Guard Breakwater to find a large cruise ship, the Celebrity Infinity, anchored offshore. It stops by a couple times a year.
The dive was very enjoyable, the swell was building so there was some surge, unlike the day before. Water temp was a bit warmer 54 degrees. Water clarity was only 6 - 10 ft initially but with the incoming tide and rising sun improved to nearly 20 ft near the end of the dive.
