I did three dives at Anacapa from the Spectre yesterday. The visibility was about thirty foot. Much better than the ten foot vis we've had the last few weeks. The temps were around 57 deg, so it's creeping up, but I still wish I had a dry suit. Anyway, here are a few photos.
A Kelp Bass keeping an eye on the anchor.
There were a lot of big Sheephead.
We were in the game reserve, so there are lots of lobster.
Spanish Shawl (Flaballina iodinea)
another one
Black Dorid (Polycera atra)
Here is another with the end of my finger for scale.
A pair
SanDiego Dorid (Diaulula sandiegensis)
A different angle
We had Sea Lions play with us on all our dives. They are great fun, but I have no luck photographing them.
Another failed attempt
For those that don't know, the Spectre is a dive boat out of Ventura, California that serves the Channel Islands.
