Don't let the naysayers discourage you, this was a nice divesite! As Beto noted in his trip report, conditions allowed a trip south, and though Sur19/20 were an option we decided to check out a new site Beto had located on sonar maps which he called Roxie Land. Current was strong and consistent, with the exception of a ledge near 145' that had relatively little life other than kelp, so Rob and Clinton weren't able to do a spectacular photo survey of the new site. There were lots of fish on the site however, including lots f vermillion and yellow eye, and a decent collection of nudibranchs. It would be fun to go back to this site in better viz.
