San Diego divers David Hershman and Michael Bear were treated to 30-40 ft visibility over the weekend when they motored out to the Pt Loma Kelp beds for a day of diving.

Giant Kelp was thick and a rich variety of marine life was on display, such as, but not limited to: Lamanaria, Blacksmith, Surperch, Senoritas, Cabazon, Sheephead, Spanish Shawl nudibranchs, white and yellow Dorids and Greeen Anemones.

Phenomenal visibility was the order of the day here and here we see some a Sea Cucumber among some Red Gorgonians and Rockfish playing hide and seek in a crevice. The geographic structure here is truly amazing.....
