Because of fishermen on the rocks and rather poor vis, I didn't try to take my normal northerly route for fear of not seeing their fishing line and be able to avoid it. I stayed fairly close to the entry point in shallower water which had enough trash to keep me busy for a long shallow dive. Video of the entire dive here - https://youtu.be/3PFG0xMu33U
