A Discover Scuba student, bridge-buddy Tobin, and I had a great one hour, twenty-two minute dive today in seventy-two degree water with between ten to fifteen feet of vis. The strong southwest wind definitely has stirred up the lagoon; the water is milky. Nevertheless, we saw several bandtail searobins, and the lionfish, both of which you can see thanks to Tobin's photos. The juvenile lionfish is at the top of the arch. A seahorse is in the photo of the lionfish, but is difficult to see. We saw a shortnose batfish and a juvenile batfish, the identity of which I just can't say. A little yellowhead jawfish entertained us while eating its lunch. The french angelfish seemed to want us to take notice of them today as we had juveniles, intermediates, and adults right in front of us. Getting out of the water was nicer today in eighty degree breezes. Even the fresh water rinse did not have to be hurried. Great day under the bridge! Get in the water, Ham
