Link Is anybody else having trouble getting web links to post? After hearing some mediocre reports of conditions the day before, the crew decided to give it a go, unfortunately conditions sucked worse than expected. Dropping into 41fsw, I quickly lost sight of everyone. The green muck was reminiscent of the soup I used to have as a lad at the Pea Soup Andersen's in Carlsbad. Thick and green. I didn't like it then, and I don't like it now. yuck We somehow managed to collect the group back together and head into the canyon. Snapping a few pictures along the way, we quickly found ourselves in 90fsw, straining to see anything through the green-particle-soup. Terry found a lovely Dendronotus sp, Kim found a cute mini-lobster/crab critter, and I found a rice-sized black dorid and an SD dorid laying eggs. Few photos to remeber the event.
