Dive #467 - Finn Beach - 24 February 2021

FANTASTIC NIGHT DIVE!!! 5 LUMPSUCKERS!!!! All in the same 25ft sq area, by the buoy. One was in a chunk of the metal piece just off from the bigger metal bar that's near the buoy, aerating eggs with her tail. Two were in moonsnail shells. One was a matching orange rust to the metal colour. SO AMAZING!!!

Started out by spotting a zebra slug on eelgrass, which was a pretty great find. 3 little red octos, a tiny little stubby squid the size of my pinky fingernail, grunt sculpin. SUCH A GOOD DIVE!!!
