12/4/2011 - Ask And Ye Shall Receive

Yesterday I told Merry I wanted to find a Dendrodoris behrensi at the Underwater Arch. I had only seen one in more than twenty years. I found one within the first couple minutes of the dive. Today, Merry said she hoped there would be a Mola Mola cleaning station above the crane off Haggerty's. We dropped into a dozen of the funny looking fish. I think I want to find a gold-laden shipwreck next week.
The water in the top fourty feet was clear blue. Unfortunately, the wreck sits in fifty-five feet. It was murky, and seemed to be lacking the life we usually see there. No school of Rubberlips, no moray eels, no kelp... We had to look close to find any sign of life, but everywhere we looked, we found tiny animals. Shrimp, nudibranchs, worms, even a copepod fell from one of the Molas.
