Good Dive on the Pinnacles, Carmel Bay November 3, 2023

Greg Hoberg and I caught a nice day and dived the Pinnacles, one of only two of our favorite 6 or 8 dive sites https://photos.app.goo.gl/iD3TLbYVjAvBBfKe8that has a healthy kelp forest. The horrific devastation of the plague of sea urchins continues. We had a very good dive, it would have been spectacular if we'd had better visibility vs the average of about 20 ft we had. We were repeatedly visited by a Harbor Seal but never close enough for a good picture. Below are some photos from the dive, to see more, please go to: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iD3TLbYVjAvBBfKe8
