Primary choice is sea kelps & amount of sunlight entering through the water. California sea lion was the highlight- look up close & hide-n-seek. |

Website: http://www.calboatdiving.com. Best spotlight of dive- playing with California sea lion. Spectre is one-day dive (3 in weekdays & 4 on weekends). For those who do multi-days dive, spend the night in bunk is welcome and free! Weather- cloudy and cool breeze. Sea kelps, lobsters, urchins, varities of starfishes, galbraldi, California sea lion, horn shark, sea grass, turban snails, varities of school fish (one of species is being studied by university with purple stick near the fin), scallops, anemone, elegant eolid, CA sea hare, rockfish, goby, sea bass, sting rays, etc. Boat has charcoal grill for lunch. It's the best lunch that divers really enjoyed! Recommend to explore harbor village for overnighters. Parking is ample due to early am departure (7 to 8 am). Dive center has rental gears and equipment is ready on boat for rentees. No pick-up or drop-off rental gears. Bad- gallery seats are few- about 20-25 out of max of 40 divers on boat. |
