Visibility: A hazy 15-20 feet, 15 feet in the shallows (low tide)

Great first time at octopus home for myself & buddy. Swam straight from the beach towards the small buoy which marks the north end of the cliff. Followed the bottom of the cliff for a good while until it petered out at a big boulder. Turned and followed the top of the cliff back. Super easy swim, almost no current the whole time. We got in about 1 hour before low tide. Saw 3 GPOs in their homes, 3 wolf eels, two sunflower stars(!!), lots of rockfish and perch, one greenling. Great day in the water!

Lots of GpOs in holes with a few reaching out to touch. Just as many wolf eels too. Nice dive with visibility way better than I expected!
