8-25 Monterey & Carmel pics

[Larry C]

Still catching up. I haven't finished processing my Channel Island pics and I already have two more dive weekends behind me. Here are a few from Outer Pinnacles in Carmel, a couple of Moon Jellies off Point Joe, and some shots from Anchor 1 on the deep shale off Del Monte beach.

Great Larry!! Terrific photos. That first one is really magnificent, it really shows what cold-water diving is all about. Please hurry up and get your photos posted from the rest of those trips!!! Who is the diver with the moon jelly embedded in his/her abdomen? He/she is wearing my Atomic fins. ++Ken++

Thanks Ken, Sarita, Marc, Skeeter, Harry.

Ken, that's our friend John who we dive with quite frequently, and excellent photographer.

Sarita, you can just call it a San Diego dorid if you can't spell in Latin. I usually do, but I had Behrens & Hermasillo in my hand, so I used the proper names.
