Newport 3rd Finger 6/17/2012

Dove the third finger, on the ocean side. Viz wasn't all that bad (6-8 feet). There wasn't the "normal" amount of life though. I saw only about half the sea stars and maybe a dozen fish. Not really sure why...
I did see two things that I had never seen before. The first was a small (~5 cm) box jelly with iridescent lines running through it in about 20' of water. It was really pretty. I also saw a Lewis Moon Snail egg casing. Both were really cool to see. I'll have to drift in between the fingers next time to hopefully find what laid those eggs!
