Comments: I had great plans of getting pictures of the new Yellow Snake Eel today. I brought along a box of frozen squid and arrived early in the morning to try for two dives. The conditions have deteriorated from mid-week. High surf, zero vis and red tide foambergs everywhere kept us out of the water. The excitement today was due to a family playing in the surfline, not recommended at a rocky beach, two free divers who couldn't get below three feet with their Jetfins and a small brush fire that started soon after the large family walked down to the beach. Several Fire Companies spent a couple hours knocking down a fire the size of a schoolbus.
I'm really hoping for less excitement and better conditions tomorrow. I like my dive sites to be boring. :)

All that excitement wore out poor Cyber.
