Day Island Wall search

Very nice 85 minute dive with Donald! I've never seen a tide that easy at DIW - it was like Redondo! I saw four juvenile red irish lords in the shallow. I guess that's where they live. In the kelp I saw something that looked like a large red snailfish. Almost like a brotula but it disappeared quickly and I couldnt get a photo. ARe there snailfish like that? It was in about 20 ft of water. We saw a couple of juvenile giant pacific octopus in the open. They were swimming like GPOs! Not red octos. One had a hole in its head. A couple of wolf eels. DIW is a better night dive than day dive apparently.

Easily 20+ feet, possibly 30+, hard to tell as it was a night dive. I love fall-time night diving opportunities at diw! Nice wolfies, fewer GPOs but saw some reds in the open. I saw an interesting fish. It looked like a whitespotted greenling but red! Mating garb? Kelpie on eggs. Lots of pmh's. No gunnel like yesteryears.
