Pinnacles July 12, 2023

Greg Hoberg and I got out last Wednesday the 12th and went to the Pinnacles in Carmel Bay. Though the sky was very overcast with a heavy marine layer we could see that the water was very blue. We anchored in the much recovered giant kelp bed. When I splashed I was astonished to clear see the bottom 65 ft down. The water was a beautiful blue thanks to fresh deepwater upwelling and it was a bone chilling 47 degrees. We had an excellent dive on a small canyon with its top in 45 ft of water, the bottom of it at 80 ft plus. Below are some photos from this dive, to see more please go to: https://photos.app.goo.gl/zkwCPANJZLvZ3BkM9.

Look up the anchor line to just spot Greg's Zodiac on the surface 65 ft above.
