Nice, easy shore dive w/ Jord & Tim. Surface swim N to a buoy then down to about 8-10m. Gradual E/W zig-zag back to the shallows over sand & rock & lots of kelp. Spotted a v big dogfish (3-4ft?) hiding in the kelp, a couple of large-ish spiny spider crabs & various wrasse & pollack, and a velvet swimming crab under a rock - ID'd by bright red eyes!
