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 (

Unplanned launch symmetry with Idyllwild dog friends Saskia and Brando

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 📺🤓

Family portrait. Special thanks for the perfect rock to wedge under my phone.

No filters needed for a solid Scientific Dive today, surveying the rocky reef to deploy temperature sensors. A curious harbor seal couldn’t decide whether to help or just play and nap.

Thanks Tim for capturing me eye to bigger eye with a lovely lady.
