Another dive at Pescadero Point and a dive at Chase Reef and, Orcas!

Greg and I had two good dives last Friday, Oct 18.  We are taking advantage of the calm seas this time of year.  We dived off Pescadero Point in Carmel Bay and on Chase Reef inside Point Pinos in Monterey Bay.  After our Chase Reef dive we saw two whale watching boats just a few hundred yards offshore.  We realized they were in the company of two local Orcas - stumpy (he somehow lost the top of his dorsal fin) and fat fin (another male with a big dorsal fin).  One of the Orcas did a beautiful "porpoise" leap quite near us, fantastic to see.
