Anacapa on the Spectre

[bvanant]

Went out to the backside of Anacapa on Friday. My normal system was in Galapagos without me so I took the Nex-5 and shot some with the 18-55. I was mostly going for some anemones but it was quite surgey so they all had a bunch of sand in them.

Very nice!

What are the current water temps out there? I have been debating a quick trip out.

We went out the next day on the Spectre (1 dive at Anacapa, next 3 at Santa Cruz). Temp *at depth* (60') was 66F! Warmest I've seen out there. We had a great time:

Wonderful shots, bvanant!

Thanks for sharing. I really need to get and dive SoCal again.

66 degrees? Yikes that is too warm. Apparently we are having a tuna run 26 miles shore right now, which might explain the warm Southern waters.

And there we were in 400g undergarments, dry gloves, and 12mm hoods.

Oh, and two of the sites off SCI had us in 60+' of visibility. Tropical diving has come to SoCal!

On Friday the backside was 62 at depth, and warmer at the surface. Great vis at Coral Gardens despite really crazy topside weather.
