Mono-lobo 9-11-13

Greg Hoberg and I with a new friend Sam dived Mono-lobo off Monastery Beach in Carmel Bay last Wednesday.  We enjoyed very calm seas and low surge.  Unfortunately we had terrible visibility 5 -10 ft.  A dark dive.  Despite this, as is frequently the case, there were many nudibranchs to be seen.

 Tritonia festiva dendronotid nudibranch, about 2 inches long.

San Diego Dorid nudibranch, about 3 inches long.

Catalina Triopha nudibranch (aka Orange and white or clown nudibranch)
