Dive 205, Casino Point, Catalina Island, California, 24/08/2011

In 13:17, dive time 46 minutes, max depth 19.5 metres.

Second dive with Ruth - Irina's very happy with first dive & sits this one out. Large purple & very soft California Sea Hare, another 2 (male & female) giant black sea bass, octopus, lobster, several rainbow scorpion fish. Lots of life including 'fishing line' - not really, its an algae! Used ankle weights as a bit 'feet up' on previous dive using BCD with integrated weights (no belt). Lots of brown (soft) gorgonians. Also tree fish (striped vertical black & yellow), a shoal of mackeral (yellow tails), calico bass (black with white blotches), & blackeyed gobies. And a tube dwelling anemone - like a spiral worm. Good dives!
