Headed out to the shores for a night dive. I got to the V street around the sunset and the beach was busy. There was one car ahead of me waiting for another to pull out of the side. Turned out that was not a legal spot (the white line). I got to chat with the driver for a few seconds. Then the sunset went down and people started leaving the area. In just a few minutes, we both got decent spots. It turned that the driver was John, the owner of Divebums. We have been exchanging emails for a long time and the first meet up was just a bit out of expectation. That was funny.

In terms of condition, the waves looked big, maybe about 3 or 4 feet, but powerless. I got into water with no problem. The surface was a bit choppy so I dropped down a bit early. It was super surgy and the visibility was horrible. I kicked out the the crap patch. As the water got deeper and deeper, the viz opened up a little bit, but still lots of particulates.

The crap patch looked the same – with a lot of algae. I heard that was due to the abnormal warm water we had encountered recently. With the area covered with a thick layer of algae, anything creature could hardly roam around free. That’s why I was surprised to see a janolus. It was a baby one. It proved again that this year was a strong year for janolus.

Other than the janolus, I didn’t see anything particularly interesting at the crap patch. Then I headed south toward the canyon. Near the beginning of the wall, on the ledge I saw this pair of navanax. The interesting thing about navanax is that when two of them are together, I am not sure whether they are going to mate or one is going to eat another. So I stopped and watched for a little while. This time the loves wins. Soon the two took position and started mating.

Before I reached the V point, on the slope there was a big sea anemone. I came close and wanted to get a shot. But just after a little while, the krill came along. The combination of light and a sea anemone made a death trap for these little creatures. Soon the anemone was fully loaded with krill.

Here are a few pictures I took for the whole process. You can see a normal leisure sea anemone at the beginning and at the end it was fully loaded – I don’t think it could take another krill.

Shortly I arrived at the V point. The viz here was not too bad. Interestingly, there were tons of nudibranchs at the point – janolus, Dendronotus, and black dorid. But one kind of nudribranchs that surprised was Hedgpeth’s Dorid (Polycera hedgpethi). I never saw that many of them gathering. A few of them were in pretty good sizes. The highlight was a mating pair.

What interesting is that while I took picture, I couldn’t really see them very well. The point was vertical and covered with algae so I couldn’t really get a dark background. These creatures are mostly below the algae layer so it’s hard to focus. I tilted my camera nearly vertical and I am happy with the results – I never saw a pair of these nudibranchs before, let alone a mating pair.

So from the point, I made a turn and headed to the shore. From a far, I spotted this little red octopus. It made some funny postures.

Near the sand dollar field, I came across this hornyhead turbot (Pleuronichthys verticalis). It was cute fish.

After a few minutes, the fish swam away. I turned back and there was a dirona picta floating right in the water column. What a surprise! I reached out with my head and the little guy made a soft landing. Beautiful creatures!

I then gently laid the nudibranch onto a piece of grass and continued my dive.

Then what came across was this swimming crab chewing a dead heart urchin. I followed it for a while.

Wow, I can’t believe how many things I saw in this one dive – so many interesting encounters. What a wonder dive!!!
