Visibility
A silty 20 feet (incoming tide)
Had a 1/2 filled tank needing a vis so decided to kick it with a 2nd dive at the pilings followed by a drift back towards the jetty. Water was moving but calm enough to explore once inside with continued good vis. Contrary to recent reports, we still found the area worth diving. Tons of cool yellow and orange sponges and tunicates middepth. Lots of white lined dironas, clown nudis, painted anemones and scaled crabs. Massive clouds of tubesnout and shiner perch with a nice amount of kelp. The line that connects to the jetty is mostly buried but we were still able to follow the remnants during a partial superman drift back to the swirlpool jetty eddy. Saw a nice juvie wolfeel, a million shrimp, Cracktopus' deadbeat cousin Blocktopus, and the highlight was a big purple healthy adult sunflower star!!!

The pilings delivered for me. 4 species of nudis, a juvenile curious octopus, numerous juvenile wolf eels, Kellet's whelks on a huge egg mass, sculpins, kelp pics, etc. even poked along the rope and saw cool stuff. There was also no one there except us which was very nice after the crowd scene at Keystone.
