Okay,

So I got your attention it's not videos of the deep but instead Monterey and it's gorgeous vizibility at Point Lobos. I was blessed by Neptune for good weather and Devin took me on a guided tour out of the cove, (thanks Devin).

I've been to Point lobos two other times and it was nasty with zero vizibility, I was beginning to doubt this place for it's underwater beauty, I was wrong.

I have several short video clips and I'm going to start uploading on this thread. Here is the first one of Devin swimming through the kelp and I took it so you can see the type of clear water we got, he comes out so detailed.

Hey Mike!
Nice viz indeed..
Often, the key is to swim out past the mouth of the cove for better viz.The cove is usually not so hot,but it is much better a bit further out. Its worth the swim! I have had less than 15ft in the cove and upwards of 50ft out a ways..
Look forward to the others vids..

Nice video. I was diving Pt Lobos on the 14th also, sorry I didn't meet you and Devin, I could have used a guide as I had a near miss with some rocks coming back from Bluefish cove -yikes. I hope to put a report up soon with some video

Great video Mike, looks like you guys had some pristine conditions. It looks like the weekend divers are going to miss that.

Ken, were you diving Bluefish? Did you swim/scuba around the washrocks? That's impressive, it's a mighty-long swim, and terribly shallow right around cannery point. I've never been all the way to bluefish and don't think I would be able to get there without a scooter or kayak!

Here is a second video of a Sheepfish, I think that is what they are called. Devin said they are more abundant down south.

He was very majestic and came to investigate me and then swam away.

Great conditions, i'm so jealous! Those fish are called "sheephead" FYI

Yep, that's a male California Sheephead. Did you know that the females can become males later in life?
