Murky surgey day... but with pictures!




We joined in a fun dive today - the visibility wasn't great, but we had our camera with us and finally got to take some pictures. Unfortunately - we were getting sloshed around so much, it was hard to really hold still to focus. More of a fly-by-snap fest. :) In the end, only a couple of the photos came out clear enough to share. Hopefully we'll have better photo ops in dives to come.

One fun thing about this dive - the seals were out and about having fun with us. At one point, down at 40 ft. we saw a big fat seal just laying on the bottom between some rocks, looking at us. He decided we were boring and darted away. I didn't write about our previous dive, but we had another seal encounter. As we swam along, we felt something tugging at our fins. A seal! He bit my fins and Curtis' before quickly darting away. :) We also saw one poor seal back at the dock - inching his way up the boat ramp. He got to the top and lolled his head back, looking out with big watery eyes at all the tourists who wanted to take his picture. Eventually the marine animal patrol came to help the poor guy who was undernourished... evidently this wasn't the first time that particular seal had made his way up the boat ramp.
