As usual for the Marine Room in the middle of the day, there wasn’t a whole lot out, but I did see some sea hares, a Vermilion Rockfish and a Janolus barbarensis in a little cavelet. Also saw a Sarcastic Fringehead. Nice relaxing dive — it was nice to just get out before winter swells start moving in.
