Words Holidays and diving mean completely the same for us, that is why it should not be wonder we take any opportunity to discover a new underwater world. This time it happened in California. We were in the US for 3 weeks and we could not skip this very important action. We book daily trip with 3 dives on calboatdiving.com (I should notice these are nice guys with quite good service). We came on the eve to Ventura harbor and slept on the boat. All rent equipment was ready on board. Early morning we start the journey to Channel Islands. Unexpectedly for us it was too cold, not more then +18 degrees (Celsius) outside and I was really nervous about water despite the 7mm of the suit. After the jump the computer showed 14 degrees…quite chilly but possible to swim for an hour.
Knowing that California is one of the few places were it is possible to admit
kelps we were very impressed of the beauty we discovered under the water. It remind a huge forest with long grass stalks looked like trees trunks. Between kelps were a variety of orange and green fish, lobsters, huge crabs, little bit away from the thicket we were lucky to watch a sea lion hunting.
We made 3 dives close to the nice rock with many birds on top of it. Spectacular views, nice people, good dives=) California is definitely the right place that should be written as a reference in a log book of any diver!
