Great day for a dive at Christmas tree cove. The bigger than usual high tide at 10-30 / 11 AM. Low surf and warm day. The water in the cove looked murky as the hill side continues to slide down and into the water adding sandy particles. Visibility went from 6 ft to 30 ft in a few minutes as we headed 210 toward a pinnacle I dove last year. It was amazing and full of life the way honeymoon cove used to be. First saw a guitar fish, then 25 ft away spotted a blue shark cruising toward us. Lots of large sheep head and kelp bass great structure. Amazing dive with the guys from NBTT. Get out and dive with us! (http://www.nbttdiveclub.com)
