These photos are from July 29, 2012. Visibility was 40-50 feet, although a murkier layer at the surface cut down on the light deeper on the wall. This is the first time I've felt current here that made me feel like I was building up CO2 by swimming against it. The current seemed to be flowing straight towards shore so swimming with my wall of cameras out to the drop-off took more effort than usual.
