Roger and I did a dawn patrol dive before work today. The La Jolla Cove was flat calm, like a lake and looked clear. We entered and motored out to Buoy A in search of Giant Sea Bass and Soupfin sharks. We successfully located the former but were unable to find the later.

We saw at least 5 GSBs, including a group of about 4 medium sized ones near the buoy. We then went looking for soupfins but only found a number of bat rays.

The viz is pretty bad in the cove, very milky but clears up as you get out towards the buoy. Oh yeah, we dove this in wet suits and were very warm above the 30 ft thermocline, below that it starts to get noticeable cold.

Great way to celebrate the summer solstice!
