World Class Sea Cave
The Painted Cave, located in the northwest part of Santa Cruz Island, is the largest sea cave in North America and one of the largest and deepest in the world. On our recent trip to the island aboard Truth, the captain took the boat right into the cavern. It was such a treat!
We Made a New Friend at San Clemente
At San Clemente Island we had this inquisitive harbor seal follow us around. Harbor seals tend to be more shy than the California sea lions, but sometimes they come out to follow us around and play with our fins. This image was taken by our long time friend Randy Pu.
Our Majestic Forest
This is one of the reasons why I say fall is he best season to dive in California. The water is clear and blue and the sunlight filters through the healthy kelp canopy. Sometimes I end up doing extra long safety stop because I'm just mesmerized by the beauty of the kelp forest.
Our New Friend!
We were having such a great time aboard the Peace Dive Boat that this California brown pelican decided to come check us out. It happily hanged out with us on the boat and posed for pictures. We got a great group picture with our special guest.
Safety First
Yes, it's lobster season. It is exciting to go on a hunt, but don't get carried away. Monitor your depth and air, and make sure you have your safety equipment ready.
