A silty 10 feet, 10-15 feet in the shallows (incoming tide)
Planning another jetty dive but there were so many diver, cars parked double, so I turned around and went to dive Driftwood Park. Nobody there. Unlike my last dive there on December 31st, this time I was not so lucky finding critters. Some shrimps and lots of Wrinkled dogwinkles on tires. . One Wolf-eel in a bottle, some Blackeye gobies, two Painted Greenlings, nice Fish-eating anemone. Small Tailed jelly at safety stop. Silt covering everything at depth.

Visibility
A grimy 10-15 feet (low tide)
Some of the tires got tossed around during the winter storms. Many are covered with Wrinkled dog winkle eggs, some snails still laying them. One large GPO deep under tires. Scalyheads providing interesting show in and around one of the empty Giant barnacle shell. Many eggs already inside, different colors, every female has different color. Interesting -how they do it? What was interesting. The large male I saw guarding them left, left and another male came in doing his fertilizing dance inside over the eggs. Third male was puffed up nearby. Near the toiled, Mosshead warbonnet peeked out from a fancy tequila jar. Nice Fish-eating anemone still present. On my safety stop, I found few baby Lumpsuckers. Really tiny. Cockerell, Monterey and Leopard dorids.
