South Wall LJ Shores, Fri July 4, 2008

Just returned from a dive along the South Wall. Very nice conditions! Mirror-like surface, 1ft waves, mild current. Viz in the 40-50ft range below 30fsw, enough to enjoy the landscape formed by all those wall-ettes and ravines. Dropped down to 90fsw during initial descent, but remained between 60-70fsw for most of the dive. Lots of the usual tiny critters, but unfortunately no bigger fish to be seen (bat rays or something like it). Highlight for me: a probably 1ft long kelp (?) pipefish sitting on some old kelp leaves. These animal are pretty hard to spot!

Happy 4th,

Michael.

PS: Parking is a _bit_ challenging today – there was not one spot in the big lot at 7 a.m. and the park looked like Tent City.
