i have been going out late for night dives at the Muk ... been getting in the water at about 10 pm and scootering all over the place ... Since they removed the fuel Pier , the Muk has become quite the different beast of shore dives.. I have been there at the correct time , correct slack and the Muk dished up a serious Dose Of whoop my ass ... I had a Down current start at the geo dome and keep building and building pushing me and another diver from getting up slope ... wicked to the point where we swam towards the ferry past the tire log to get out of it ... Other times I have had strong South current blowing hard during the dive .... The Muk has become a current sensitive dive site which really sucks because it used to be a pretty good shore dive almost anytime during a tide swing .... So during these late night dives it also seems pretty common for Stinky the seal to show up and bug the crap outta me , to the point of if i am trying to film or take pics , it becomes a silted Out mess with stinky Hunting all around me ... I have seen 2 other seals with stinky .. a smaller one , and another larger buddy .. I have looked back on my footage from 5 years ago and stinky seems to be the same Harbor seal that used to hunt In the fuel pier... I dont mind diving with Stinky , He has become very tame swimming along side my scooter like a Dive buddy , and Munching on perch as i light them up ... Stinky Isnt as tamed as the Cove 2 seals .. He still keeps a distance , But the funny thing He always seems to do after Im diving is he Comes up on the surface in the shallows and lays On his back with his fins waving, as to say thank you to me ,,LoL
So here are my shots from the Muk ...

Re: The Muk
Chris: I wonder of the new ferry pier, when constructed, will serve to divert the currents the way the old pier did. You can let us know when it happens.

Re: The Muk
Great Nudi pics! I've heard a couple rumors of the new down current, but luckily haven't witnessed it yet. Hopefully it's just temporary.
