As another rain storm looming on the horizon, the window of diving the cove was narrow. No doubt that the sharks were there and expert predicted 100 ft visibility (Roger!), so clearly there was no time for hesitation. I rushed to the cove. From the hill, the water was clear. The surface was a bit choppy but there was no surf. Parked, changed, and kicked out all the to the buoy under the bright sunlight.

After I dropped down, the visibility was one order of magnitude lower than the expert opinion (Roger!). It was surgy and so murky that I wondered whether a milk plant got a leak…but immediately the shark emerged from no where – not the kind of shy move but a head-to-head collision. That was a thrill…Then for the next solid 10 minutes, the same shark kept on coming, approaching from all directions. At one point, it kissed my dome (my shutter was 0.3 second slower than the touching moment). As fast as it showed up, it suddenly disappeared without a notice.

Then for the next hour or so, I was in the milky water and didn’t know where to go because I could not see much. There was a big trigger fish that just wouldn’t get closer, then there came a leopard shark but swam away fast. Large schools of yellow fin tunas and barracudas were circling around. In the mean time, there were a ton of tope sharks around, but could only see there shadows.

The shark didn’t seem to return soon so I decided to head back. As I moved from one area of kelp to another a bit on the south., suddenly, appeared another shark of much larger size. Without any warning of shark approaching, I almost screamed. But the shark kept cool – slowly cruising away inches from my mask. At this point, I realized 7-gill sharks were either one true curious critters who like to check out human divers, or had poor eyesight just like us in the murky water and had to come close to see things. Either way, I love them.

Despite the surge, kicking back was easy. But at about 100 m from the beach, the water turned into yellow/red with zero visibility – I absolutely could not see anything. It was disorienting and at the same disgusting. Later I found out that a truck crushed the pipe on the side-walk and the water washed everything into the ocean. Well it’s unfortunate but I am okay with the timing…

Taking videos most of the time so just a few shots and screen grabs.
