dive report 8-1 on the Silver Prince (pics)

[jon m]

hey all-
we went and did it. two great dives on the Silver Prince. saw some whales and dolphins on the way out. i was more exited about seeing a Mola-Mola at the surface!!! way cool.
we did Mono Lobo, then Red Rock (Stillwater). both good, although i enjoyed the heck out of the red rock dive. LOVED the wall.
enjoy the pics!

Please excuse my geographical ignorance, but if I may ask, where is this?

Thanks!

Monterey.
mono-lobo is a dive site on the edge of Point Lobos, Carmel (also a great shore dive spot)
Red Rock is outside Stillwater cove (near Pebble Beach Golf course)

Mono-Lobo = Monastery-Lobos...

Great Photos Jon! Carmel Bay is some of the best diving in California if not the world.

I live in Nor cal and I am still finding new sites to look at possibly diving. I would imagine the water temp was in the mid to high 50's?

I was still reading 48˚ at Lobos a month ago. Probably warming up a bit now to low 50s, but someone will be along shortly with a more recent temp.

That's definatley 7m zone. Thanks... Sheesh that even might warrant a dry suit.
