8-17 Catalina Island Pics

[Larry C]

Here are a few from one of my favorite dives, Farnsworth Bank on Catalina Island. We did two dives there. On this first one, as my computer ticked down 3,2,1 min. no deco, I spotted one last Octopus and dropped down 10 ft. to take a last shot...0 min. no deco, 12 min. deco stop. Oops. No worries. We did a second dive at the same site. These pics are all from the first.

Moray Eel

Scorpionfish

The little Octopus who cost me a deco stop
