From Pieter: viz was remarkeably good below about 15' sharp thermocline from 50 to 56 degrees. To be expected at a site with little current I guess.
Watch out: on a -4' tide, there's a muddy bottom here than can be tough to cross!

It was good to have just plain ‘bad’ viz as opposed to ‘awful’ viz. Not as many slugs this year- there were a couple of nobles, a couple of northern leopards, a three-lined and a Hermissenda. All of the Tritonia that we used to see here are gone. The large GPO that lived here is also gone. The huge three-foot wide pink star has moved upslope from the wall a bit, but there were at least half a dozen other giant pinks, much smaller though.
