Keystone 5/13

Post by YellowEye »

Howdy Folks
I went to Keystone on Friday 5/13 with Waterproofboat.

It was a beautiful day, the water was flat, the viz not bad, and the critters were out! Great stuff! I rushed in 3 long dives on nitrox 40 during the tidal exchange!

Here were some of the snaps:

Not sure what kind of nudi this was, but it was cool!

We also got to go to Pickles Deli on the way back! :taco: They're going to expand it!

Hope everyone had a great diving weekend!

Great stuff, as always.
I think that nudi is Stubby dendronotus (Dendronotus subramosus).

I take photos because I like it, not because I'm good at it. :) by Unknown
