After one nice dive on the outside of the reef in front of Butterfly House, Dara, myself, Peter and Adeline decided to head out to the trench to look for the Blue and Humpback whales that have been reported lately.
Instead at about 3,000 feet we came across a sea lion eating a Mola Mola, very cool. None of my pics turned out hopefully Peter's did.
After a couple of hours of searching for whales we ended up heading towards Moss Landing where we saw a glimpse of a whale making a dive. I started scanning the radio and heard about 3 Basking Shark sightings near Pt. Pinos so I hit the throttle and headed over. Fortunately for us we did find one Shark. For the first 15 minutes or so there was a large Whale charter and a sailboat besides ourselves. After the Charter headed back to port the sail boat and our boat were alone with the Shark for about an hour and a half!!!!!!!!!
A number of times he came right up to both boats the entire experience was amazing and made the horrible Laguna Seca traffic completely worthwhile.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers
