Old Garden Beach - Rockport, MA

Surface conditions were amazing, but OGB has lost most of its sand for entry. We hopped in, surface swam out to the rock reef, and headed out 60. We saw lots of sea lemon and barnacle eater eggs, but only 1 small sea lemon and a couple barnacle eaters. I also found a club-gill nudi, but it was tangled in some weeds so getting a shot was very hard. I was looking around for critters with my flashlight and came around a rock to see a large bright eye of a smallhorn sculpin. It made me jump and before I could flip the camera out of microscope mode, it took off. As we headed back, we saw a HUGE moon snail that appeared to have been eating something. We hopped back in for a second dive as the tide was coming in. We dropped down right away instead of surface swimming and came across the same giant moon snail we had seen on the way out. It appeared to have finished its snack and was on the move again. We hit the rocks and spotted some scaled worms, a couple dendronotus, a single sea lemon, and a few doris. It was good to get back to doing 2 dives!
