Great shots, Ken. The Onespot is amazing, with the eyes in perfect focus. Really enjoyed the freaky Hermissenda too.

Thanks Larry. I really had to look twice at that deformed Hermissenda . I wonder if that it helps or hurts it?? He was pretty big so I guess he is finding food . ++Ken++

Where in Morro Bay were you diving? I used to visit there when I was younger. Going to be back that way this summer, and might like to get up there for some relaxation and diving. Thanks.

These were taken under the North T-Pier, which is also called the Coast Guard Pier because of the base there. I only know one other divable spot in Morro Bay and that is Fairbanks Point, which is just south of the Inn at Morro Bay, in the Park.
