Catalina Dive Trip, July 2012, a set on Flickr.

I took a trip on the Truth, a boat out of Santa Barbara. This was the annual Channel Island trip put on by the Northern California Rainbow Divers. A great LGBT dive club in the Bay Area. We had a good time, although the visibility at times was not that great. The best dive of the trip was by far Farnsworth Bank which is a pinnacle about two miles off shore. It isn’t a beginners dive site with the rock sitting at 60 feet and then dropping way into the depths. But it was really great — saw 3 different nudibranch and got the luck of having an octopus landing right near me at the end of the dive.
