SJ and I went on our friend's boat up to SJI's yesterday. It was a great day! Super calm conditions, great viz, etc
Surface sights: oyster catchers, seals, cool red-beaked gulls (not sure of the id), porpoises, sea lions, cormorants, and we even saw a seal eating a salmon!
Below the water, we saw GOBS AND FIELDS of proliferating anemones in pink, yellow, white, peach and aqua... painted anemones, stalked PMH's, scallops, a HUMUNGOUS yellow eye rockfish (secret location), gooseneck barnacles, a fairly good variety of dotos and nudibranchs, candy stripe shrimp etc etc... all the good san juan stuff!!
Here were a couple snaps
Hope you had a great weekend!

Re: San Juan Diving
