2007_03_27-Shaw's Cove Dive

Dive at Shaw's Cove, with Peter. Played with the wide angle lens on this dive. Vis was pretty bad, but still a good dive!

My current computer setup has 2 monitors, with a regular VGA connection on one and a DVI connection on the other. On the VGA monitor, the pictures all look like crap. On the DVI monitor, they look much better. If they look like crap on your monitor, it may be possibly to adjust the brightness/contrast to get a better picture.

2007_03_25 Dead Man's and Shaw's Cove

First dive was with Peter and Erik, at Dead Mans:

Pissed off looking sheep crab. Like a moray eel, these things always look like they want to rip your thumb off!

Don't know what this is, but it looks cool.

Next dive was with Erik, at Shaw's Cove. Awful visibility, but still a good time.

Starfish

Closeup of starfish "finger"

I forget what these are called, but they're really ugly, especially up close.

I saw this feather floating around in the surge and it reminded me of American Beauty...only without the video or garbage bag...

We also saw a hermit crab getting tumbled through the surf. It was rather funny (for us at least, I don't think he found it humorous) to watch him try to hold on for dear life, only to go tumbling along the bottom, then get a chance to grab on again, with the process repeating. I have a short video I'll try to get uploaded.

2007_03_24-Marine Land Dive

Heading out for a dive at a new location - Marine Land, north of Huntington Beach, rather than our typical drive south to Laguna Beach. Unfortunately, my camera lens was fogged for the majority of the dive, so my typical bad picture taking was made even worse by this fact! Pictures below:
