2/25/07 dive, the squid are back!

[Master Duck]

Visibility today was only 3’-5’ and there was a moderate surge. The swell wasn’t too bad when we first headed out around 9:30AM but picked up by the time we were exiting The Shores. The waves were about 1’-3’. We had lots of fun though! The rough conditions made it a little more exciting. And more good news, the squid run is on! There are lots of dead adults along the Canyon wall. It’s like a calamari buffet! I saw lots of single egg sacks but not too many big bunches. Just one or two from the East to Way North Wall.

Hey, Jim! I have to say, I dig the layout of this site...

Saw a few egg sacs, but no squid yesterday. Are they more of a nocturnal critter?

Wanna go for a night dive Wednesday?

So here I am stuck on dry land with a stupid cold and I'm hearing all this squid talk. Does anyone know will they still be around next week or other times of the year? please say yes, ....stupid cold!!

Hey guys:

Went on a night dive Wed at the main wall (headed south)--it was a veritable squid bonanza! I saw big clusters of egg sacs and tons of squid. I got some video of a squid swimming and a still of two squid mating. Pretty cool. Also saw lobster, a nudi, decorator crab, kelp crab, swimming crabs...the works. Pics and video at:

Viz was very decent that night--probably 15-20.

Dive Ho,
