West End, Catalina

[SoCalRich]

Another beautiful day in SoCal. diving the shores of Catalina. The crew of "The Magician" and the friendly gang from Dive & Photo in Costa Mesa, made it perfect. The Magician runs a tight ship, so be prepared to be directed as to the procedure and process of their system. The conditions at the West End of the island were calm, with decent vis. But the critters took some work to find. Lots of smiles and diver's enjoying each other's experiences. Everything a day of diving should be.
Good Divin,
SoCalRich,
I don't seem to see much of this bright green plant/animal in other locations, but was quite abundant a the west end.

Looks like Neogastroclonium subarticulatum.

I think the good Doctor is correct.
