Two marvelous dives at Skyline yesterday taking advantage of the small exchange. We saw small octopuses out in the open both dives, several juvenile wolf eels (including one in the open), candy-stripe shrimp, two Red Irish Lords, a couple of sparkling shrimp back in a crack, a white-spotted greenling guarding eggs, and a big GPO in a den down at 75'. It's been awhile since I've seen a GPO at Skyline. The kelp is looking old and the orange sea cucumbers are fewer and closing up. Winter is coming.

Viz wasn't great, but there's always a lot to see at Skyline: three juvenile wolf eels, a black prickleback, a few rockfish, orange zoanthids, orange social ascidians, orange sea cucumbers, several kelp and white-spotted greenlings... also several large leather sea stars. Not a single sculpin!
