Location: Temple City, CA
Hometown: Temple City, CA

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

Finally, a picture of Spanish Shawl Eggs

February 25, 2019

Too bad the Spanish shawl is cropped off, but it was swaying back and forth so much I was happy just to get a clear shot of the nudibranch and the eggs.

Same Spanish shawl, but I like the purple outline around the base of the cerata in this image.

I finally got a picture of a Spanish Shawl laying eggs. It was perched at the tip of a hydroid and swaying to and fro in the surge as usual...
