Well, one area to dive that gets over looked is our local beaches. There are a lot of places to dive right here in our back yard. Laguna being the most familiar and most accessible. Today our chief medical officer (Nic) and I went for a couple of dives and captured quite a few photos of these small aquatic creatures. Many miss these small and interesting animals. Take the time to watch an area of reef for a short amount of time (2-5 minutes) and you will see all kinds of animals. Nudibranches, snails, and small crabs to name just a few. Today I found what appears to be a cone shell (Conidae spp.). I did not know they where in these waters, and I have only seen them in warmer, tropical, waters. Winter is coming, and the diving is going to be great, so lets get out there and do some diving. Pictures--1st- cone shell: 2nd & 3rd Nudibranch (Gastropoda ssp.) The Aldrin, 10-14-07.
