Visibility was about 20 feet today (Sept. 24, 2010). Kelp covered most of the rocks so I didn't notice many fish-eating anemones, but there were a few large schools of black rockfish up in the bull kelp forests. The current wasn't too strong, but when I reached the part of the boulder pile that heads out into the Strait, I could feel a mild flow coming straight down over me from the other side of the pile. This warned me not to go too far. Near the beginning of the dive, I noticed several random flashes from what seemed to be my camera strobe malfunctioning. I was angrily tinkering with it when I saw another solo diver with an SLR setup clicking away over the sand below me. I have no idea who it was. We gave each other a quick wave before we continued on our separate photo missions.
