   Monterey, CA / The Needle

max. depth: 29.3 m
dive time: 45 min

notes:

First open water, non-training, dive w/dry suit.

Got a bit chilly, mostly hands. Need to close down valve and inject air before removing kit. Also need to use mid-weight undergarments (top and bottom).

Originally going to try to go Lobos Rocks to find Glenn's gear that got away. However, wind and waves kept us from heading south.

7 XXX whales from 100 meters.

Rock emerges from 35 m floor.

Wall covered with corynactus, hydrocoral, cowries, lemon and white nudibranchs. Lots of rock fish hanging out. Metridium bunch on north side.
Egg yolk jellies kept us on our toes.
