Watcombe

Fine and dry so decided to go for a short snorkel after work. In the water about 6pm? Neap tide. HT 3pm. Seemed to take ages getting in (I went down the hill to have a look first, and had forgot how long and steep it is). Visibility looked good. Hardly anybody about. Yas swam too, but didn't stay in very long: too buoyant and feet felt floaty. I used my usual kit FJ/Rash vest/boots/scuba fins/weights 3kg. Saw a nice big edible crab on the deep vertical rock face just out of the cove, as well as spider crabs, wrasse, large bass around cave entrance (very fast swimmer), cyanea lamarckii, orange sponges, lots tiny mussels. Kelps. It was just a little too dark and shadowy for underwater pictures. Some yukky litter floating about. Good scenery.
