Greg Hoberg and I caught a very calm day and took his boat down to Monolobo in Carmel Bay. We saw Risso's dolphins over the Carmel trench as we crossed the Bay to Monolobo. After our dive, we spent some time near them with Greg's boat and were rewarded with some nice viewing of a juvenile albino Risso's that the whale watch vessels have been showing pictures of for some time. Below are some photos from our dive, to see the rest, please go to:

We had an average of about 35 ft of visibility, water temperature at depth was 49 degrees. My drysuit zipper, despite lots of attention, leaked again. I'm buying a new drysuit, I got this one very cheap and it was manufactured in 2006 and I've decided not to invest $638 to replace its leaky zippers...We saw one ling cod and one Cabezon, still much less than usual, I'm hoping they are just late coming into the shallows where we dive this year. We were visited by curious sea lions a couple times but the visits were sudden and quick so I didn't get any really good photos but did get a couple ok ones.
