Dive #254: Conditions were flat calm, viz was just OK. We did what Andrea calls "Whole Garden Beach" - headed out 50 to the giant boulder, hung a right and ended up over by anemone overhang. I had my lobster gear, but it's still a bit early - saw 2 shorties, 2 that were probably keepers, and one monster that was almost definitely an egger. Didn't manage to catch any, but did get some decent pictures of some hydroids, anemones, a giant aeolis nudi, and a few other various nudis. This was a nice, long dive that felt warmer than the computer indicated.
