I had a great dive here on April 23, 2009. I did my usual tour of the plumose anemone boulder and the slope below the concrete path. Several varieties of kelp covered most of the rocks. Visibility was around 15-20 feet. I had a look at the area nearer to the beginning of the pathway (the area closer to the parking spots). Here the rock dropped down much steeper in a wall to about 15- 20 feet deep. I could see several fish-eating anemones and seastars on the rock face. I even saw a river otter drop down along the wall. When it saw me it skidded to a stop (I could almost hear the tires screeching). It seemed a bit confused and it paused for a moment, allowing me to take a few pictures before it charged away back up to the surface. That's the first time I've seen one underwater.
