-Close-up ones from Jan. 14, 2009. Visibility was about 40-50 feet below 15 feet deep. The shallows had an amber, tea-like tint. The surface water was also the coldest I've felt it so far this year. I had to catch my breath and wait for the headache to subside before descending. Since I was taking close-up pictures, I was noticing smaller things on the wall that I normally don't pay attention to. There were several tiny (6" or so) boot sponges scattered along the wall. It's good to know that they're reproducing (if you can call it that). I also saw lots of cup corals around the boot sponges at the base of the wall.
