The time has come yet again for the annual overhaul of the SPCs. With volunteers from the Scripps diver community, the cameras were removed from the pier piling, hoisted to the pier deck, and thoroughly cleaned. The cables and underwater wipers were replaced, and then the refreshed instrument was lowered down and reinstalled. Many thanks to the hard work of our divers Natalia, Rex, Rich, and Taylor!
Whew! That’s a lot of growth! 
The rear of the SPCs is heavily fouled as well! 
Stowaways were quickly returned to the sea!

There were SPCs under all that fouling! 
The rear of the SPCs looks much clearer as well.
