Dive Number: 449 10/03/2013 Castle Rock

Conditions: Significant Current

Visibilty: 10m

Water Temp: ??c

Bottom Time: 50minutes

Max Depth: 20m

Details: I always thought Castle Rock was far enough from the heads to not be affected by currents. I was wrong. Exercise caution if not diving on a live boat. The benefit of the current though, was that i saw a big school of Kingfish from the surface, sending the sounder nuts. They didn’t stick around for the dive though unfortunately. I do love this site… the ascidians are a big feature for me, but it has a great wall too.

Camera Details: Tokina 10-17mm 2 X YS-D1 Strobes
