Morgan isl. and Porpoise Head

It was another windy day on the the water. Visibility inwater is a bit dusty right now and Morgan island seemed to be missing alot of life from past dives. We did see a few pacific cod and found a great new second dive where Bruce found a porpoise skeleton and that the lads think is up there with the Aggy wall although we have not found any gorgonians there yet. Great topography, life in shallows and depths over 300 feet.
