Why?
Why do we dive California? Here’s my fave from Jeff’s Saturday photos:
I was in Hawaii at the time. I love getting the chance to dive someplace warm with amazing visibility – but I’m constantly having to tell people that yes, California has diving, and yes, it’s really beautiful here. We’ve had at least as many memorable critter encounters here as in the tropics.
While Jeff was playing with this cutie, I was trying to get footage of a 14′ tiger shark at 100 fsw outside Honokohau Harbor. Though it was a cool experience for the 30 seconds it took her to cruise by, I think I would have had more fun goofing off with seals for half a dive!
I think I would’ve been scared by the shark.
I imported my video from our Anacapa trip yesterday — that is why I DON’T dive in California!!! I have about 15 minutes of muck footage.
I LOVE your DVD!!! I’ll write you later but it is fantastic :)

That is a fantastic picture. The face reminds me of the goofy blowfishes in those Commander Keen games of yore…
