Monterey pics 7-11

[Larry C]

It's been a busy couple of months. Between Bali and the Channel Islands the first and last weeks of July, we dove every weekend in Monterey. About 2000 pictures that have taken me a month to finish processing and posting. Here are a few from July in Monterey.

Juvenile Black & Yellow Rockfish

Dirona Albolineata

School of Juvenile Rockfish

Red Octopus

Trochoina Tetraquettra

Lingcod with Rose Anemone

Wolf Eel

Cadlina Leuteomarginata

I'll pick a few from Bali and the Channel Islands before I start on August in Monterey.

The Dirona is magnificent. Great shot. I also like the wolf eel, wish we had them down here in the reachable parts of the Channel Islands

Thanks Bill. I don't know where the Wolf Eel boundary line is. I'll have to check my fish books. We don't see very many, but generally they stay in one place and they mate for life, so there are usually two in the hole if they're mature.

There are lots of wolfeels on the wrecks just offshore from L.A/Long Beach. A buddy of mine said he found a Dirona albolineata off Palos Verdes while diving with another photographer, yet both of them decided to dive without cameras that day. :headscratch:
