- A silty 15 feet, 5 feet in the shallows (low tide)
Two GPOs in dens, one big red out and about. 4 sailfin sculpin and shrimp every where since it was a night dive. Super nice and colorful site less that 50 ft deep. Also saw over a dozen sea cucumbers on one rock, must have been an orgy or something sexual.
