Great dive last night! VERY clear (30ft vis) - flat calm at the surface.

Kind of surgey at the bottom - LOTS of bugs crawling around - mostly small :(

Sightings included:
- Guitarfish
- Octopus
- LARGE Sheepshead
- Some sort of large Cod-type fish
- typical kelp dwellers

I have some video that I need to process and upload. Link to follow.

Kudos to CAPT Ryan and Greg for a great dive! I spent over an hour down there having a blast.

Video looks great, I don't think I have the patience yet to find
as much stuff as you did! :D

It helps when you are down there for an hour or more ;) - it was a lot of fun. I generally use my steel HP 120 and we were only at around 30-40 ft .

That's what I need is a larger steel, all I have at the moment is
three 80 aluminum tanks. Every time I dive the canyon I can only
stay down there for a few minutes, most likely that giant bass that
always sneeks up behind me to get my heart rate going! :svengo:

:rofl: I used to have something like 5 80's - now I have two of the PST 120s and one PST 80 - I love the PST HP 80 as it is just slightly larger than an aluminum 60 :D
