Notes and Highlights: First dive of 2011 - dove with Len and Josh. Great to see the kelp growth and life around the reef...meant as a compliment, I'd say it was like a crappy condition day off Catalina. Saw some sea lions - a large male that checked us out, a horn shark, a large cabezon, a sunflower star fish, lots of spanish shawl nudibranchs, some lobster, sea hares (regular and giant), and kelp fish and healthy schools of blacksmiths. Overall a great time had by all.
