There was some kind of a class on exit/entry and the environment going on in the parking lot – a SCUBA class that is.

Dennis and Al were coming out as I was entering.

Some kayakers and fishermen were around.

I entered about 9:20 AM and swam around the rocky point off of Pigeon Shit cave.

The visibility was good; about 15-20 feet, but a little silty past the rocks.

I saw many fish, sheephead, an octopus – I’m seeing more octopi lately.

Maybe I just know what to look for.

There is an old abandoned lobster trap that I can use October 2nd.

It is in 40 feet of water just a tad on the North side off the rocky point.

I’ve been there before.

Nice dive; nothing notable that’s out of the ordinary; easy exit.
