Sunset Point, Carmel Bay, 9-16-13

Greg Hoberg and I dived off Sunset Point in Carmel Bay today.  We had 20 to 25 ft visibility and 66 to 32 ft depths.  We saw lots of nudibranchs, a couple of octopi, lots of rock fish, and were followed around by a Harbor Seal that was careful to stay just out of camera range.  After the dive we cruised up to Monterey Canyon and saw about 2 dozen humpbacks feeding in small groups.

 Either a Hilton's Nudibranch or Horned Nudibranch, need to refresh my memory...
