Inside Pt Pinos September 21, 2018

Greg Hoberg and I took his boat out to dive on the last day of Summer.  We headed down to Carmel Bay but a stiff SSW wind and SW chop turned us back because we were concerned it would intensify and perhaps change direction.

We dived just inside Pt Pinos.  We had 15 ft of visibility at the start of the dive and at least 20 ft at the end as the tide came in.  I bought a new 8.5 inch dome to use with my 24 mm lens and I was eager to try the new combination out.  I was pleased with the results.

Below are some shots from this dive, for more please go to: https://photos.app.goo.gl/qhm3TBK5T4myf5Gw7

                                         Greg in green water.  Sunny days overwhelmed the recent upwelling.

                                        I saw several of these small, about two inch, sea stars....wish they were juvenile sunflower stars but don't think so...needs to have around ten legs or so...

     Black and Yellow Rockfish

                                Olive Rockfish

                                          Large Lingcod

                        Well camouflaged Snubnose Sculpin, only saw it because it moved.  See it?
