Same old times, same old place!

That's 4:30, 6:00, and Cove 2 for those of you who don't know.

All times are approximate, so dont stress if you can't splash at exactly those times! With pre-dive socializing, most of the splash times are actually highly variable. Just show up with enough time to assemble your gear!

I'm planning on being there for both dives, and post-dive food/drink, if anybody is going . . .

I'm in for dive 2 and "dive" 3. Planning on practicing unconscious diver recoveries, so if you would like to practice, learn, and/or watch, I could use the company!

Will these drills occur during dive 2 or dive 3?

Depends on how well dive 3 goes!

Wow, the weather really cooperated for us tonight -- we got the window between the morning's pouring rain and the night's snow (there was a half inch on the ground at my house when I got home).

Viz below ten feet was really quite nice, and tonight was California night at the Cove -- at least, the two unusual nudibranchs we found were Armina californica and Berthella californica. How's that for coincidence? I see the Arminas periodically in the Cove, although I don't know why they are there, because nothing they eat lives there. But I don't think I've ever seen one of the Berthellas there, and we found two.

That, a restless GPO, a mixed school of striped and pile perch, and a huge school of tubesnouts were the highlights of our evening.

Thank you to my beloved buddy Kirk Hamblen, who I don't get to see nearly often enough, and Dave Stucki, who I don't get to dive with often enough, for a really fun nearly 70 minutes underwater tonight. It's almost 11, and I'm almost thawed . . .

Well like I said, the splash times aren't exactly set in stone. It's basically anywhere from 4:30-7

Lovely worm pic. That's a species of Phyllodoce.
