Unusually good viz today: no recent rain. I saw at least a dozen bay pipefish over the course of two dives. Highlight of the dives was a GPO underneath the big pipe at 37'. I haven't seen one in the park in months. There were also several white-lined dironas, a pygmy poacher, and a sturgeon poacher. I reported 19 species on my REEF survey from the second dive!
Couldn't even read my gauges in the first 5': still a lot of runoff from the recent rains. Viz opened up to 5' below that. I went out the big pipe and back. Highlights of the dive were a few white-lined dironas, one yellow-margin dorid, 8 bay pipefishes, and a metric ton of dock shrimp all over the concrete pipe supports. I reported 13 species on my REEF survey.
