Had a nice dive with Erin, Steve and Mike. Mike found a tiny juvenile clingfish amongst the scattered dead market squid. I was also hoping to find the mantis shrimp below Valecitos point, but alas, didn't find any in our short time at 80 ft. My air was running low, so we quickly looked and didn't find any holes.
