This makes me so sad that I didn't learn to dive when I lived there. I'm going to have to visit friends there someday. Great job on the pics!

Slight correction: Apparently I mis-ID'd the Juvenile with the Leather Star. I've been corrected that based on the spot on it's dorsal fin, it's a Canary Rockfish. I know you probably don't care, but even though I suck at ID's, I try to be accurate when possible.

Larry,
Its good to see you diving again. Your photos WOW...seem to get better every time you go out. Those are excellent nudibranch shots. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Gary and Chad. Have you been getting your rig underwater, Gary? I tried something new with this set. I got sick of blurry supermacros in auto focus, and I haven't had any luck getting sharp focus while zooming so I set up my supermacro in manual focus and I just estimated the distance to subject and moved in or out half an inch until it looked right on the crappy little screen with my crappy old eyes. They didn't all come out, but the ones that did were worth the fuss, and the ones that didn't were still way better focus than the camera does from 2" in low light with particles moving in the surge.

Thank you Larry!!

I was pleasantly shocked too see it in the CA-Diving news myself as It was a coincidence that I picked up that issue.

Beautiful pics Larry! I'm guessing you got your mask replaced?
