I love scuba diving. Being under the water, the quiet mystery of visiting a new world. It was quite a change to back to cold water diving after the warm waters of fiji. This dive was much more similar to Catalina Island, lots of kelp and a bit cloudy, about 2 meters of visibility, perhaps a bit more, but not much.
We were with our dive guide, Karl, who dives these waters on an almost daily basis- he took us through mermaid's kitchen into caves, we saw Octopus and eels and lots of sea stars. The colors here are vibrant, purples and pinks next to the greens and browns of the kelp, with little bits of red here and there.

We've joined the dive club and hope to get out nearly once a week to see everything this area has to offer. Lots of divers here go out to catch food- scallops, blue cod, crayfish. There is a big party on Sunday to benefit cancer research with a seafood feast all caught just off the shore by the local divers. We haven't decided yet if we are going to go.
And lastly, check out this video Sky took of me swimming through the channel after the jump: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19KCR6vBNiY
That is all for now- tomorrow we are off to Cricket match, time to go research how the game is played.
