Waves were chest high, making for a challenging entry. We were getting overtopped by breakers even when we had swam more than halfway down Anglin's pier.
Dive plan: surface swim to end of first reef, descend and proceed generally west to second reef, then south, then turn around and go north.
Viz was better out at the reefs than near shore, but not great.
Fish were hiding in the corals to avoid the swell. Saw a moray eel (small)and little reef fish.
Weight (20 lbs) felt good this time. I may be able to shed a pound or two next time, but I was easily able to swim the weight up to the surface and orally inflate my BC.
