Comments	Warmer than expected--could have used a 3mm and much less lead. Spectacular visibility for west coast. Bird rock A+, Eagle Reef A+++ (many lobster and morays--in the same holes!), Italian Gardens 200-300 lb. 5.5 ft. Back Sea Bass. Garribaldi Reef 80 ft. vis. Captain Kennedy knew all of the great spots & what we would find. Great service from deck hands and (non diving) dive masters. 65 ft. boat a little crowded for 30+ divers. Warm shower. Tanks filled to 3000+. Casino Point underwater park--like a bath tub. Kelp much more spread-out & navigable than in NorCal. Giant Black Sea Bass & Leopard Sharks--loads (Italian Gardens only), Sheepshead, Garribaldi, Cow Nose Rays, Lobsters, Morays, Senioritas, Opal Eye, Perch, Rock Fish (all kinds), Kelp Fish, Calico Bass, Inverts...EVERYWHERE!
