Pinnacle/Pulali

Post by deep diver »

went diving out of Rod's boat today with Blackwater and RFT for a before Neah Bay shakedown. We went to Pinnacle first, vis was below 50' was about 15'-20' above that around 2'. Lot of new life with Wolf eels moving back in and pairing up. Our second dive was at Pulali with a little less because of the current change, but lots of grunts starting to show up in the area.. and this little orange one, brightest I've seen.
Thanks Rod, Bric, Bob for a great time

Dale, nice shot of the grunt! That thing was as bright a shade of orange as I have seen.

Thanks to Rod for taking us out on his boat. He has just completed a restoration on his boat and its built like a tank, the amount of deck space is great. We will have pictures after our next trip. We have plans for a Neah Bay trip in the near future, I can't wait!

Guys thanks for a great day!
