Diver's Notes

Amazing first ocean dive, first boat dive, first kelp dive! Saw sea lions, sheepshead, garibaldi, etc. The kelp was way more fun, beautiful and relaxing than I ever imagined. Giant stride entry went off flawlessly. Dive was near Arch Rock on the north side of Anacapa. All three dives on Friday were on Anacapa.
