Dive #465 - Dolphin Beach - 17 February 2021
First dive of the year with snow on the ground. It was really cold in the shade, although bright and sunny out of it.
Sea lion came up to see us within the first couple minutes of the dive. I found a Cockrell's dorid, then a rhino crab. Swam along the trench for a bit, then headed to the wall. J found a crimson anemone that was brooding young in its tentacles. Two tiny orange nudis, a wee little baby PSKC who had just molted, the same Vermillioin rockfish that always hangs out at the wall, a 2nd Cockrell's dorid (!!!), and a wolf eel, although I didn't see it because I was in deco from my trip to see the Vermillion. Lovely dive in the sun, although we didn't end up far left at all, because the ebb was strong and pushing us back.
Found a Stelletta clarella sponge, although I had no idea what it was at the time.

I don't know what this is. Craniella spinosa? Some kind of tunicate? Heart urchin? I found it with the white side down.
