Bachelor Rock search

Salt creek too wavy on Friday afternoon. Bachelor rock exceeded expectations. At least 5 GPOs live out there, saw two in the open. A small wolf eel. Thousands of silver juvenile herring(?) in the kelp, some ledges with nice inverts, some large brown fuzzy hermit crabs, sun stars, small kelp forest.

It was my first time trying this dive site. I'm glad I tried it! It's sort of a combo between a San Juan dive and Salt Creek. Lots of fir hydroids, cup corrals. zooanthids, and fish eating anemones. Plenty of sunflower stars. Fun! I dove it at high tide. As the the ebb started, it tried pulling me around the outside of the island away from the entrance.. It feels like it can definitely get strong here. Long surface swim that you can walk a part of even at high tide. Lots of cross jellies in the bay but not much color in the bay itself.
