Solid start to 2019 with a gorgeous road trip through Death Valley and Alabama Hills.
Saturday Scientific Dive. 
Yesterday, 5 of us successfully deployed a YSI Multiparameter Sonde OX2 off the coast of Two Harbors, Catalina Island. The large OX2 was affixed to a mooring buoy chain at 60ft, and smaller thermographs were placed on the chain at 80ft, 40ft, and 20ft. The Catalina Marine Society will now be able to monitor water characteristics such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, pH, and other metrics to keep tabs on the health of the ocean and its inhabitants.

It’s impossible to summarize such an incredible experience in a few small rectangles, but here are a few to give you a glimpse into the world of the great white sharks of Isla Guadalupe. The bar is set very high now after such amazing and awe-inspiring encounters with these fascinating predators. I hope anyone with hesitation or fear about sharks or the ocean can see the beauty and importance of these magnificent animals. ——-

Textures and colors below the thin blue line. Three dives today, off the rugged southwest Catalina coast: Pedestal Rock, Whale Rock, Wild Wild West. 
Pictured: macrocystis, macrocystis pneumatocysts up close, gorgonian medley, horn shark with blue-banded gobies, California moray eel, Spanish shawl nudibrach. 
Not pictured: sea lions swirling around us on descent, bald eagle majestically dive bombing and catching a fish, 6ft Unidentified shark only my two dive buddies saw (and there’s half a photo to prove it but we don’t yet know what species)
Zoey likes to shake off her sand and water right next to people.
Dive buddy Justine squaring up with a territorial male Sheephead Wrasse 60ft below the twin oil rigs Ellie & Ellen. 
Don’t worry dude, we won’t encroach on your harem of females.

After reports of Great White Sharks in the area, I had to bring a camera on my night dives in case I ran into any. 
Giant Mutant Shark alert! 
Kidding, just a few small (

Quick moment of serenity while the other 80 tourists are out of frame hidden within the swirling formations. #lowseason #geologyrocks #wateralwayswins #selizrydamroadtrip2017

Northern Canyonlands & Arches yesterday mark a completed “Big 5” National Parks adventure. Incredible 360° scenery throughout and between the parks, national monuments and other smartly protected public lands. 
While I have cell reception and slow WiFi, here’s some TBTs from the week: Zion x2, Bryce Canyon x2, Capitol Reef x2, Canyonlands x2, and a disturbingly abandoned but agreeably graffitied RV. 
Next up: Driving southwest through Monument Valley towards Antelope/Rattlesnake Slot Canyons and Coyote Buttes. Stay tuned 📺🤓
