Description:

This can be a boat dive or a shore dive.  We did it as a boat dive the day after Thanksgiving this year.  It's an interesting site, although we never really spotted a "wall" per se.  However, I saw my first sea pen here.  Very beautiful!  I also saw a HUGE nudibranch that we identified as a Giant Nudibranch.  An appropriate name.  Overall, the dive wasn't that great.  Maybe somebody can show me the real wall some day.  One problem we had was deciding which buoy to tie up to, as there were two that were close to where the shore dive starts.  We may have been tied up to the wrong buoy, and therefore didn't find the real wall.
