When and where did I miss the sea turtles

It was either last year or early this year that somebody reported a sighting of turtle and I think that Dr. Bill confirmed that there is turtle presence in SoCal water albeit very rare.

Ross Overstreet found a Hawksbill turtle six miles off Pt. Fermin in 2006.

Here is a link to a post by Leejnd telling about her siting of a sea turtle at Catalina in October 2010: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/socal/354838-bugs-bugs-more-bugs-sea-turtle.html

Very cool fish - he's kind of cute!

Me and Leejnd saw the turtle on Lobster opener last year near the quarry on Catalina.

I saw a frog fish today thanks to Laguna Sea Sports. Its been there for a few days. Turn right at turn around rock and there is a small cave in the wall, its been living in there. Very cool creature. With the frog fish was a large octopus in the top part of the cave ...wish I had a camera... I will be getting a Go Pro2 camera to record all my dives. I also saw lots of LARGE 5lbs.+ lobster in the cracks let alone the babys in the eel grass. Suprised that MLPA is really going to happen Jan. 1 with the amount I saw:depressed:. Found one out and pinned one last one before its over.Good Diving Day Though..........

Keith - Now that we got the Go Pro we can show everyone cool animals like this!!
