Monolobo 11-8-13

Three consecutive days of diving last week has me struggling to catch up.  Greg and I dived Monolobo at the south end of Monastery Beach, which is at the south end of Carmel Bay, just before you hit Point Lobos State Park (one of the most beautiful places on the planet, if you haven't, plan a day of hiking there).  Monolobo has very rich invertebrate life and now that it is a no take zone the population of nice sized lingcod and cabezon is really fun to see and photo.

Curious blue rockfish

 Lingcod waiting on his perch.  This is the time of year that lingcod congregate to reproduce.  We saw lots of them, several together.
Greg and I both got closeups of this patient Cabezon.
