Part 1 starts in 70 feet of water and shows the diverse marine live that can be found along the discharge pipe as you dive toward shore. You will travel through the lush kelp forest growing on the ballast rock which protect the outfall pipe. Along the way, you wil see 5 different species of starfish, 3 phases of tube anemone, 5 species of rockfish, and many other healthy marine animals. Finally, the video ends near the shore in 10 feet of water where the topsmelt fish flutter by.
