Off to Mermaid's kitchen for a Sunday afternoon dive. It was relatively calm out so Nate and I had a minute by the dive buoy for a picture.

I was able to navigate us to some of the swim-throughs in Mermaid's Kitchen East.

At the midpoint of our dive we ran into some of the resident blue cod, including this good sized one.

This one was so bold, he even gave Nate a kiss on the cheek at 1:05 of this video!

After that it was time to turn around and head back. I even managed to navigate us almost right back to where we started!
