Photos of diving Scripps Canyon

There was some epic visibility last week that I just caught the end of on Saturday, during a Scripps Canyon dive. The shallows were quite nice, but a little bit of a dead zone. Mistaking a crab trap for the new canyon line, we dropped in to find sheep crab tripping over each other to climb in. The canyon was bright and full of life as usual. I always forget how long the swim back to the pier underwater is (total run time for the dive was an hour, max 125′), but it definitely helps with off-gasing. I feel a lot better doing the long underwater swim back, rather than doing a slow accent, safety stop, and surface swim.
