The water was cold (76-77), but clear. Luckily we brought our full 3mm wetsuits and 7mm warmers, so we were just right. A wind breaker was mandatory on the boat, it was cool and windy topside. I managed to squeeze in 30 dives, and my dive did 28.
The critters did not disappoint us. The harlequin shrimp, bumblebee shrimp, and rhinopias we found last time did not appear, but multitudes of pipefish, giant seahorses, bobbit worms, flamboyant cuttlefish, wonderpus, ambons, soft coral crabs, numerous nudibranchs, and many other strange creatures made for a fantastic trip.
