Iron Mines Drift Dive

Ben ,Bruce and I had a great drift dive at the Iron Mines on Sunday with Nancy at the wheel of Diligence and Susan alonfg for the ride. Nancy, Ben and I had a good second dive at Coyote Cove.Here are some photos of the first dive. We got going pretty good towards the end of the dive in the shallower water. Weather was calm, sunny and cool 47 deg F in the water.
Amongst the many things we saw on this hi life dive as we went along the wall were plenty of opalescent Nudibranchs and  a few very small Gorgonian corals .
