Scripps Canyon, Tue July 22, 2008
We had ourselves a very nice dive at Scripps canyon this morning. Surf was down and the water was nice and blue for the first 30f or so, but we also had respectable visibility in the canyon today. The usual abundance of life was out on display, including several swell sharks, the large moray eel and a fried egg jelly. Good deed of the day by my brave hearted buddy was to free the jelly which had managed to wedge itself under a ledge and appeared to be stuck. We carefully created the necessary water currents to ‘flush’ it back out into open water.
Bottom time always seems to fly when you have a good dive and soon our computers indicated that it is probably a good idea to head into shallower water.
