Comments: A good dive, but gotta watch the currents. We went by boat, with a highly experienced Captain and still got caught in the current. Went down for 20 minutes, came up for 10 and went back down and the current was gone... so go figure... most divers looked like flags on a flag pole on a windy day.. one even made it to Canada... (just joking) But it can be a rough one if you don't catch it right. Even if you don't - you can enjoy it, with luck, if you stay in the eddys at the reef. I did, and ended taking 36 pictures of the same thing... heheh more out of not wanting to waste a dive and knew I had to come up with some pics - it was a photo class.... a little hard coming around the corner of some of the rocks, so just sat there and stared at the walls. Fighting currents are best left to those who feel the need... just keep an eye out for the current and you'll have a good one... A lotta work for a beer.... ;-)) Also apparently a rough steep walk if you drove. I didn't, went by boat, and me thinks that's the way to go..... SEE Betty's 101 Dives for more details Page 254 Boat was good, highly recommend it.
Boat: Bandito Charters	SamPan

Arrival: Parking is a little complicated, I'm not sure this was the normal Pick-up point as we went accross the inlet to pickup some others. This is the West side of the inlet at Johnny's Seafood lot. No parking there or next door - they threatened to tow, Park only on the street or in the Marina lot.
	...and the long walk down to the doc... I use a 'Lean Green Dive'n Machine', An Eagle Hardware store Yard Cart to haul things around, doubles as a rinse tank too. Works fairly well...
Noooo that's not a diver in brown, but a sample of the kelp in a slight current... but it was gone in 40 minutes... the current that is...
	A little hard hanging on and trying to F-stop, Focus, Click to get something
...Here some pretty little Orange things...
	...and here they are AGAIN.. relatives at least... It's a family thing.... Remember ?? the current...
Do you see anything??? Nope!? Me neither.... First one on deck wins....
	... and so they start to LEAP aboard...
