We found a dive light in the cove at Pt. Lobos on Thursday morning, and it was still lit when we picked it out of the sand! If you've lost one this week, let me know.

And to expose myself as a walking stereotype, we then use the video to rib each other about trim and dangling gear! But we do so privately. Shhhh.... :) Somehow I think that would come off as super-uncomfortable! Like that time I thought I wanted to see the Super Mario Bros. movie, but...

Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts for the bunnies! They starred in a lot of dive videos and their legacy lives on :) Heh, I'm fully aware that I have hundreds of videos prominently featuring the buttocks of other people :) I do tend to skew towards diver shots and landscapes than...

A sad turn of events. We lost Blueberry last July, and Rodney couldn't do without her, he passed in December. Thank you for remember them :)

I have something in the works that does the opposite, but failure would be very expensive. :)

It looks like Sunday was really the start of the rainy season around here. There's no doubt we need it, but we were all worried what it would do to the visibility. Turns out....nothing! Amazing visibility, just stunning actually. It felt almost tropical at moments (54 degree water didn't hurt...

Yeah. The gear nowadays is pretty advanced - GPS/compass/gyro stabilized, return-to-home on transmitter failure, but electricity is electricity, mechanical parts fail and mother nature pretty much laughs at anything you can put together. I figure I could lose the entire rig every time I go out...

Think of the quadcopter hobby as scuba. Everything costs a bundle, and there's no such thing as free :) It's actually the same GoPro Hero 3 that I used for the dive video. There are a couple of copters that come with cameras built in for video and real-time first-person flying, but most...

Which reminds me, I need to get new bunny footage. Rodney has been a bit more shy and reclusive since Blueberry passed. It may be time to get him a new friend.

That's what it's all about :)

We had heard there were good reports earlier too, kinda surprising how it never opened up outside the cove! I wonder what other divers saw that day. The copter is super fun, but I never realized how big the cove is until I was squinting trying to see which way the thing was pointing! Does the...

Hey everyone, It's been a while (a couple of months maybe?) but Team Bunny made it out for another dive. It felt like summer in October at Lobos, a sweltering 82 during gear-up. The viz wasn't stellar but the ocean was calm, making for some nice exploration west of Sea Mount and around the...

I've seen instructors at Breakwater who don't wear hoods. That's a level of toughness I won't even attempt to understand. However, just about everyone around here who dives more than once a month will move to a drysuit (means allowing); and the vast majority say that change is the one thing...

Ever since diaper duty has reduced the frequency of our diving, it's been a while since I've seen a fantastic viz day. In a way, it's really struck home how much difference it makes to just get out there a lot; great visibility can and does happen on almost any day. It's one of those places...

Thanks Dan, honestly I had no idea, the juvies are so incredibly different from the adults that I always have a hard time identifying them. The entry at Lobos is *almost* perfect. It's a paved boat ramp 10ft from the parking spots straight into a protected cove. We locals love to moan about how...

Awesome! i love when raw footage comes out as good as that. I've not dived in SoCal very much, but I love how absolutely distinctive it is. Good vis, kelp, and garibaldi--there's no question where you are (unless you're diving inside an aquarium). Hope you guys have a lot more time for fun...

Sunday was flat and calm, but the water was a bit snotty. Mixed with heavy kelp coverage, you know what that means: mock cave dive! Well, not quite, but it was quite dark. The benefit of that was that huge schools of juvenile fish were out; once we made landfall, it seemed we were swarmed by...

Hey Bruce, It all depends on your internet connection speed. A 30-min upload is totally in the ballpark for a short dive vid, and I was dealing with 1+ hour uploads until I upgraded my ISP account. I do upload straight to Youtube and post a link; both YT and Vimeo have plenty of bandwidth for...

Best of luck Bruce, we're going to miss you! Make sure to stop by here with some warm water pics/vids :)

Tours gladly given! I just wish the canyon was a bit longer; it's really atmospheric and opens up into some nice pinnacles behind GPW. I don't use a filter or lights, but found that GoPro Studio (free version) does a really good job white balancing raw underwater footage from the GoPro 3...
