Cold, murky and dark, but we hit slack dead on and were able to get to all the good/deep stuff out on the wall. We found a red Irish lord, a large lingcod, and a white dendronotid all down by the grotto at 80'. Other highlights included candy-stripe shrimp, Nanaimo dorids, kelp and white-spotted greenlings, and several leopard nudibranchs.

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.
