After a nice surface interval and trip to the tower we headed down to the diver’s jungle gym.
On the descent we came across a school of blacksmith all milling around the top of the wreck. On the bottom we came across some baby senoritas and the other usual San Diego critters.
Diver Dan came by to hand a spiny lobster off to me. I think he was trying to confuse/bug me (hah!) but it didn’t work. I played with it for a minute, taking a good look at it before setting it down on the structure. As I set it down I saw an electric ray slightly buried in the sand! Not only was there an electric ray in the sand, it was four feet across!!1! I could tell because I compared it to the size of my fin — same size.
We puttered around for a little longer before we got cold and decided to head up. Tremendous dive!
