Highlights: My second dive at La Jolla Cove, hard to believe. The water color was still a nice blue. One small GSB.

We decided to forgo our normal LJS dive and do an early dive at the Cove, looking for sevengill sharks. Unfortunately, we were skunked. I saw one giant sea bass swim quickly in between us (no one else saw it) and later on a school of what I think were white sea bass. Visibility was not as great as earlier in the week, but the water still had a nice blue tint to it.
