Dive #463 - Tyee - Left Side - 7 February 2021

We've had a lot of rain, so viz wasn't the best. Maybe 25 ft. Umbrella crab, Grandpa Wolf Eel, a Vermilion star that looked like it was on a roller coaster with its rays up, and two big PSKCs. Thought one was a molt, so tried to pick it up. Turns out it wasn't. Those big ones are heavy!. Second umbrella crab. Only one ling cod egg mass, in the shallows.
