Aggy Wall Gorgonians

Yesterday we went to the Aggy wall  for for a look at the Gorgonians. Clear, cool day in fairly clear cold water saw 46 deg F @ 165 feet. We were here a week ago and the visibility was not very good after a few heavy rainfalls and storms so it was a treat to get some vis for a few photos. It always feels like a privilege to get the occasional good look at these corals .It was a great relaxing  dive with Mac and Gary .Thanks guys!

    Bill,
    In the second to last pic I think I see trees in the top 1/3rd. Are they sea trees or land trees?
    If that one was from near the surface, what are the coloured bits?
