August Recap


The highlight of August was the trip to Farnsworth Bank aboard the SoCal Diver on August 10.
We did two dives at Farnsworth. First was at a deeper spot and the second at the high spot. Farnsworth Bank is one of the few places in Southern California where you can see healthy colonies of purple hydrocoral. Descending down to the underwater seamount and seeing the purple hydrocoral coming into view never gets old. There were also many massive garibaldi nests full of eggs in various stages of development. The male garibaldis was diligently guarding their nests, but they let me take a few quick snaps.
