Santa Cruz Island-Peacock Wreck

It was an awesome day on Saturday 11/1. The weather was light rain, hard rain, lighting and the sky looked incredible all day. There were 8 divers aboard the Sunfish and I know they went home very happy. Our 1st dive was a short ride to a wreck in 85'. There is not much know about this wreck and it has no name. There was no current and about 25' of vis with the ocean being calm. There was lighting close by before this dive so we waited for a few for the front to pass us. we then headed over to Santa Cruz Island-Scorpion's bay area were the Peacock is. The Peacock is an old mine sweeper and is a very cool dive, it is 65' deep. There are 2 doorways that you can swim thru, and some type of tower that rises about 10' off the wreck. There is nothing to penetrate. The conditions were outstanding, probably the best I have seen (topside of course). There was at least 40' of vis, no current and high 50's water temp. There are lots of cool critters to see on the Peacock and it has the largest Spanish Shawls I have seen (and lots of them). Our 3rd dive was at a place a short way's to the south that looked interesting. The conditions were good and the site had lots of rocky reef, but no kelp. Some were able to get some very nice scallops. We then headed home with some of the divers enjoying our nice ice cold free beer. We were back at the dock about 3:30pm. It was another fun day on the Sunfish.
