Rainy day today, so geared up at the picnic tables under the metal roof at Chemainus. Headed out along the pipeline to the deep line, then over to see if the octo was home (nope!). Along the line to the block and over the reef to the green tank, then along the wall to the silver tank before heading off to the 737. Scootered the interior again and then around the tail and back to the front. Finished up by going over the reef again and south to boat island. Found one octo on boat island, then headed back to the pipeline and home.

It was cold today so I took some video but no photos. Still, an awesome dive!

Awesome dive along the pipeline to the deep line and over to Octo Rock. Found the same octo in the den but he didn't want to play today. Then headed along line to boat island take-off spot and headed south to boat island. Found octo in den there as well. Then SE back to reef and pipeline before heading home. Overall an awesome dive.
