Details |
Night dive with Snorkel Safari, Beverly Hills, led by Nicci Johnson.
We entered at the pool amnd descended the wall. I spent a but of time out on the sand away from the wall looking for nudibranchs and pipefish. I managed to find a bent stick pipefish.
We headed back to the wall and followed it along towards the shallows, turned and came back along the wall. Near the exit I let my buddy go and spent some time in the shallows to the north of the exit looking for cephalopods but found none.
I exited at the pool. |
