From the Secret Garden to the V Point

Summer and good conditions brought a lot of divers to the shores and Thursday night the V street was packed. To avoid the crowd, I decided to kick out far and pay a visit to the secret garden. I have not been there for a long time. I could find the line-up right before the sky turned into pitch black. I dropped down right at the edge of the canyon.

While I was cruising a long the wall toward south, I didn’t see the fields of red gorgonian. The topography along the canyon changed so much with lots of crevices, turns, and kinks. I also saw many patches densely packed with tube worms. Here and there I saw some short newly grown gorgonian, but not those at the secret garden like before. I was sure whether I missed the site or simply it just changed.

I started to swim up along the slope. It was quiet, nothing unusual. Soon I got to the edge of the main wall on the north of the V point. Here and there I saw quite a few yellow crabs.

I arrived at the V point. Instead of continuing south, I decided to turn back and explore the north of the V point more. Than I noticed something white and moving on a large vertical wall.

I came across this octo-mom at the shores.

I came close and realized it was a octopus. But why it stayed at the opening with all its tentacles out and bent inward? I watched for a while and started seeing eggs in the crevice. It was another octo-mom attending her eggs, shielding and protecting them. It was cool.

The bat ray was not shy and stayed with me for a little while. As it got shallower, the surge picked up. I clipped my camera and surfaced.

A great dive!
