Three separate walls in two dives! Cheveyea treated me to a couple of fantastic dives today What can I say but, "Freaking Awesome!" : The entry down to the beach was long and kind of steep. I would say, Three Tree N. X3. Not as extreme, as Sunny Side. But still a good work out! Well,to tell the truth, this might be better than Day Island Wall. First of all ,there are at least three walls and I think we kinda went to a fourth wall but it was a little deep (74')for my Suunto on a second dive. There was several Heart crab, Decorator crab and then I guess the smaller ones were kelp crab (maybe). Cheveyea found a cool Butterfly crab and pointed it out to me.On the way back on the first dive, I found a Gum Boot Chiton(?sp) I've heard of it before, but have never actually seen one. A couple of Wolff Eels, Some cool Sailfin's and just an incredible change of scenery, from what I'm used to seeing down on the South end! Oh, and vis was 40' and 20' in different areas of the walls. If the tides / currents are good, and I can get away from working or even general life circumstances, I'm looking fwd to visiting this dive, again! Thanks Cheveyea for a great couple of dives!
