Lone Cypress, Lingcod Reef, 6-4-2014

Greg Hoberg and I dived off the famous "Lone Cypress" on 17 mile drive in Carmel Bay yesterday.  We had 15 -20 ft visibility and chilly 48 degree water.  We saw several lingcod and one cabezon as well as the usual assortments of nudibranchs, sea cucumbers, sea anemones, and tube worms.  A very nice but chilly dive shooting macro.  We also saw a couple humpback whales off Point Cypress on our way into the bay.

 Small, 2 inch, sea cucumber on coralline algae.
