Sunday I drove our new Tesla 3 to Monterey to dive with Sanctuary on two sites in Monterey Bay.
Our Tesla 3, "Deep Blue" parked near where I board Sanctuary.
The first dive was on Aumentos, the second on Sammit's Pinnacle. Due to left over seas from the previous day and night and because of high winds in the forecast, we stayed inside Monterey Bay. Visibility at Aumentos was at least 40 ft once you got below a plankton bloom in the top 15 ft. Visibility at Sammit's wasn't as good but still very decent, about 30 ft.
Below are some pictures from Aumentos, to see more, please go to:
