Stanford Dive Club

This was the first dive of the Stanford Dive Club. We went with Anchor Dive out of Salt River and dove the West Wall and Slippery Fingers.

Salt River Canyon West Wall (also known as the Pinnacles): Mooring in 20 feet of water with a sheer drop off wall at the intersection of the Canyon and the Wall. It was fun to swim through the mini canyons and check out the ledges, overhangs and recesses. The dive master suggested that it might have been a waterfall into the canyon way back when. Excellent dive, almost a good as The Cliffs in Stacia.

Slippery Fingers: Fingers of sand chutes interspersed with coral as it slopes downward. Lots of fish. Nice 2nd dive.
