Because the visibility on the first dive was so poor, we went out to what is called the corridor for our second dive. It was about a 20 minute ride, but first we did some sight seeing in the local marine park. We saw The Arch and plenty of sea lions sunbathing on a giant rock.
The visibility on the dive was better, but still not great. At least it was relatively easy to keep an eye on everyone in the group. I kept looking into the abyss in hopes of seeing manta rays, but it was too murkey to see anything, and I kept imagining sea monsters appearing through the fog and swallowing me whole.
There were some fish, a couple of eels, and starfish. I don’t believe I’d ever seen a starfish in the wild. If I did it apparently wasn’t very memorable. The current was a bit strong at the end, but overall the dive was successful, if not a little bit disappointing.
On the trip back to the marina we saw a sea lion hop on the back of a fishing boat in search of a handout; that was pretty cool. There was also one swimming in the marina wondering why no one was sharing their haul.
