Okeover Breakwater

Went with a group form the dive shop to Okeover breakwater on Sunday trying to get out of the strong NW thats been flip flopping here for the last pile of days.
It was still coming into Oke and thew vis was a bit disturbed but nothing like in the Strait.
Water was a  so far season record 39 deg F and wind chill pre dive made it brisk.

I saw an umbrella crab or butterfly crab right off the draw but only got the one frame of him . Lots of feather dusters and other growth on lines in the area
Here's a bit of what else we saw.
