Diving on Catalina Island at the Dive Park

The easiest diving in California. The days, when we are diving at the Marine Park, we are taking the Catalina Express over to the island. Once we arrive to Avalon, a baggage carrier takes our dive gear to the Casino, while we walk there and wake up after the snooze we took on the ferry. We put our equipment together, help each-other in it, walk into the Ocean and enjoy our underwater excursion. Usually, we see bat rays, horn sharks, octopuses, lobsters, moray-eels, ship-heads and of course, the state marine fish: the orange Garibaldi. 

Bat-rays are one of the cutest things around Catalina

Occasional jellyfish is always a treat

If you swim slow, it is amazing how much more you see!

Moray eels are locals

Isn't California diving amazing?

Greg is making friends with a spider crab

They are not grabbing the octopus, I promise!

Every good thing comes to an end....
