We all brought our wide angles to cruise the shallows on the left side at Folly - we surface swam much of the way over and then dropped down, swimming past the northern red and up into the shallows around the tip of the rocks visible from shore. Up on top, it was shallow, colorful, and bright in the sunshine. The visibility was awesome and I managed some nice shots in the shallows without seeing too much in the way of critters.
Another buddy joined up for dive #2 and we decided to cruise the right side to see what was going on over there. The sun was higher in the sky, so I couldn't really get any sunbeam shots. Overall, we didn't see a ton, but there were a few clusters of squid eggs including one with a lobster living under it. The stars of the show were the flounders who were mostly curious what we were up to rather that bolting away from us. Nice dive!
