Visibility was 20 feet today(April 25, 2011). When I reached the deeper reefs, I followed them out to the right (West). Many of the reefs were covered with urchins and some plumose anemones. These reefs ended 60 feet deep. I swam out for a while to see if there were any more, but there was just flat sand. I reached a depth of about 65 feet. Back up at the reefs, I saw a few Irish lords and some patches of hydrocoral. A cabezon charged away in a cloud of excrement. The first time I dove here I thought it was all right, but now I'm impressed. I'm going to have to have another look at this area soon.
