- A hazy 5-10 feet, <5 feet in the shallows
Visibility was not very good on this dive. Still lots to see! More of the Spanish shawls and the yellow lined ones. Only a couple of the dendros. Some pretty huge long cod on this dive.

Possibly! It had a sort of light purple body. With orange frills. All of these were new to me so good chance I'm misidentifying them lol


I've never seen a spanish shawl in the San Juans. Could it be a Dendronotus albus? They can sometimes take on a purple hue...
