Breakwater You Up To?! | THE DIVE VLOG - EP 03 | Underwater Vlogging in Monterey Bay
Ain't nothing better for the Kelp Kultists than a perfect viz SCUBA dive at good ol' Monterey Breakwater. The subtidal playing field just offshore of San Carlos Beach at the end of Cannery Row is the perhaps THE most-dove site in all of California-countless dive careers have been launched through the Coastguard Jetty's kelp forests and magical reefs. And though some may poopoo the Breakwater for its ease of access, when conditions are good, it has some of the best diving in all of Monterey Bay, from the menagerie of nudibranchs, diversity of fish assemblages, charismatic megafauna in seals, sea lions and sea otters-and of course, the kelp kathedrals themselves. Today was just such a day, and with glorious gelatinous goober beings to boot! Jellyfish fans, drift this way! Thanks all for your patience with the upload schedule here you all-been working through lots of technical and creative difficulties. The audio in this episode couldn't be healed like the other two, so hopefully it's not too harsh and abrasive. We've got a fix for future eps! Much love to you all fronds and anemones, I hope to be seaing you again very soon here on the feed! Best starfishes, Pat ___ Make shore to like and sub-scribe and comment for the algal rhythm!
