Dive Buddies: Adam Pierce, Angela Steinway, Eli Chavez

Night dive at the Marine Room with some of my MVP dive buddies! I was hoping we'd find some of those big octopus we saw last weekend out hunting, but night dives are always great no matter what you see.

Surface swim out was easy, not many signs of life on the way. We dropped at around 30 feet near the slope down into the canyon and headed north. Saw quite a few horn sharks (as many as 4 at once), lots of egg-laden rock crabs, lobsters (one of which was eating an octopus), a couple decorator crabs, and the usual nighttime plethora of swimming crabs. Not many octopus, though! Even the small reds that are normally out in numbers at night near shores.

I spotted a wall similar to the one we saw last weekend filled with octopus, albeit a bit shallower by Adam's estimate, so we went and investigated and sure enough it was still loaded with big octopus in almost every hole. Not sure when they come out for food or if they just snag whatever wanders past, but they look big!

I decided to snorkel by the reef a bit after we surfaced (which I did solo) and I found a couple large guitar fish and the pack of leopard sharks (they're getting big!). Overall a great dive!
