After a dive at the barge wreck in Deep Cove (March 7, 2010) I wanted to try have another look at the small rocky reefs with plumose anemones that I saw out in the bay off Setchell Point years ago. Earlier in the day, visibility here was 30-40 feet, but the outgoing tide was dragging the murkier water out from the bay so it was now 20-30'. There was about a 1/2-knot current in the shallows, but it disappeared down on the reef/wall. I swam to the tip of the reef (75 feet deep) and then swam out across the muck towards the other side of the bay. I didn't see any reefs this time, but I did see several tanner crabs (they come up to the "shallows" in March to mate). My maximum depth was 90 feet. I went back to the Setchell Point reef and saw a small vermilion rockfish at the base of the mostly-bare rock slope.
