Dive #517 - Finn Beach - 30 October 2021

FIRST LUMPSUCKER OF THE SEASON!!! I spotted it about 5 minutes into the dive, a red gumball sitting on eel grass. So adorable!!!

Lion's mane nudi, some raggedy-looking white-lined dironas, a few Pacific Staghorn Sculpins, Spearnose poacher, various worms, a couple of Grunt sculpins (one living in a beer bottle), two Red Irish Lords
