I got certified in summer of 2008 with Ocean Safari. Since then, I've gone diving in tropical, temerate, and sub-polar waters. Diving in the tropics with water temperature in the 80's is nice, but there is something special about diving in California. Even as I am marveling at the beautiful coral gardens full of colorful fish and invertebrates, I think about when and where I am diving in California next. We don't have the coral reef, but we have the beautiful kelp forest and surprisingly colorful invertebrates. There is nothing quite like swimming through the kelp forest with the sunlight shining through the kelp canopy. I never get tired of it

Begg Rock & San Nicolas Island

November 6, 2019

My second trip to Begg Rock and San Nicolas. This time aboard the Peace Dive Boat. Since the condition was nicer at San Nicolas than in the northern Channel Islands (and we didn't get kicked out by the military), we got to stay at San Nicolas on the second day!
