Conditions have slacked off significantly from the weekend. visibility is spotty, but if you work for it, you can find some really decent pockets up to twenty feet, but I didn't see anything beyond that.
Got to see a small sailboat wreck, so that was pretty cool. The vessel's name is Alleycat. Vis was slightly worse than meeks bay, and a little chillier. The beach is large pebbles, lake was still sand though.

It's like diving in a glass of water and it's about as interesting lmaoooo, super calm. Fun place for beginners and to just practice skills in a low-stakes, high-vis open-water environment.
The inside of the cove was nice and calm, surgy further out. The sandy shallows at the shores had great visibility but not further south near the reef or MR.
Went spearfishing with @NauticalNick in Catalina at Pebbly Beach. The kelp forest died off because of the warmer waters and so there weren't many fish. However, the visibility was great. I got lucky and came across a lone yellowtail that I was able to spear.
Casino Point was beautiful. The visibility was incredible. However, the el nino caused the whole kelp forest to die off. Seriously, all gone. Nada.
In order, saw a calico with a fish tail sticking out of its mouth, a nice male sheephead, a giant kelpfish, a yellowtail carcass,…
I just swam around to check the visibility. Trying to calibrate the algorithm better. Had a good time at the beach with @boatridingseaweed. Perfect weather, warm water!!!
The first mistake was going at low tide. I couldn’t get past the reef. The second mistake was going on a day when the waves were too big, which caused the water to be super murky and full of sediment.
