A chunky 15-20 feet, 10 feet in the shallows (outgoing tide)
Good visibility, especially at depth. Mostly it was stringy chunks of plankton. Others out that day saw six gills out past the carousel boat. We only say the Electric Ray at about 30 feet just south of the deep line on our way back to a safety stop

A red ruby octopus on eggs at Redondo Beach, Des Moines. This is a rare sighting! Usually red octos are too buried away to see when on eggs, but this one chose a bad spot to nest. Photo by Eric Askilsrud.
