Lovely dive on a perfect day: no wind, no current, not too hot, not too cold... lovely. We saw lots of crimson anemones with lots of Kincaid's shrimp, but no candy-stripe shrimp. Highlights of the dive were a very colorful PSK, one Puget Sound rockfish, a yellowtail rockfish, a few clown dorids, two rhinoceros crabs, a few striped sun stars, and what was likely a large Odhner's dorid.

- A silty 10-15 feet (high tide)
A bit dark and silty at depth, nicer with more ambient light above 70ft. Sheer wall with sections totally covered in huge plumose anemones and other sections fairly blank with small crimson anemones and tunicates. Zoomed around deep looking for basket stars with no luck but then found a big one perched on a bolder at 60ft! Many huge freckled dorids P lentiginosa.
