Visibility: A snowy 10-15 feet, 5-10 feet in the shallows

Beautiful dive at the pipeline, despite poor visibility (which cleared up a little towards the pipeline mouth at ~35 ft but not much). The usual cast of tons of orange cucumbers, false and noble sea lemons, tons of leopard dorids, kelp greenlings out by the pipeline mouth, two white berthellas. Of note, we saw both a morning sunstar and a sunflower star, which I generally feel like I see rarely (and I didnt think to run the experiment of putting them together :) ).

Visibility: A hazy 15-20 feet, 10-15 feet in the shallows (high tide)

Lots of lingcod and kelp greenlings out at the pipe mouth. All the usual nudis (white-lined dironas, monterey sea lemons, flabellinas, hermissendas), plus one beat-up whiteish aeolid I couldnt identify. Lots of sea stars (mostly ochre, mottled, and blood).
