I ....have raved about the diversity/animal life in catalina for the last 2 years. We took our boat to Anacapa this Saturady....I dont know if i'll ever dive anywhere local again. All i can say is we passed a huge Pod of pilots on the way there, (only took 1/2 hour from channel islands marina)....we did 3 dives, starting at the west end and worked to the "bat ray cove. All i can say is I saw bat rays, the size of my kitchen table.3 of the biggest horn sharks i have ever got close enough to pet ..calicos and sheepshead that were the biggest i have seen...caves, rock formations, and the water temp was 70 degrees. The lobster is so prevalent, they are `literally under every rock, and yet i never saw a moray eel?.,The lobster moultings are everywhere and HUGE!.....The scallops are `on nearly every rock and the deepest we went the entire time was 60 feet....though most was at 45 or above. If you have been there before...you know what i'm saying...if you have not....GO.... :dazzler1: I'm already planning our night dive for the end of the month......
