Observation Wall and Captains island Sponges

I had a good day yesterday diving with Jim Rossi, Kristen, Eric Holtz and Kal Helyar of Porpoise Bay Charters.
The water was a bit murky at Observation wall but its still one of the most colorful dives in the area.
we had a good second dive at a spot ive only caught a corner of before on Captains Island.
my thanks to all of you for making the day.
 I had a bit of camera troubles but managed to salvage a few shots.

    Thanks Sean and Bill for the kind words on what was a real rough camera day.
    It's a real favorite dive color wise and I've yet to have a dive on it where I either had a camera or had one that was working right.
    I had no histogram or way of looking at shots .
    Most were pretty off the mark
