Stuck to the mid-cove reef, a lot to see. Played with a cormorant at 40 fsw, a first for me. Great kelp growth, the vis was exponentially better on the reef than deeper in the cove as expected. Very easy to tell when you were too far into the cove on the return swim before surfacing. Entry and exit is a cake walk because of the ramp, very little surge on this occasion. Great dives, if you make a whole day of it bring all tanks with you so you don’t have to leave the park to refill, parking will be an issue upon return not to mention the long line of cars entering the park.
