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.
Going Back to School
Once you learn to control your breathing, you can quietly approach and swim with a school of fish. In tropical waters you see large school of jacks like in this image. In California you see schools of blacksmiths, smelt, and sardines. Time to get wet and enjoy the peaceful underwater world.
Fall Season is Here!!!
Every year I look forward to the fall season. It is undoubtedly the best season to dive in California. It's usually the most comfortable time to dive. The water temperature stays relatively warm and the visibility can often exceed 80 feet. It's also the time of the year when the kelp forest is most luscious.
