    Haven't dived the channel islands there for some years, but I agree, there is some beautiful diving. Love to get in amongst the kelp, good viz and plenty of life, just need a few layers to keep the chill out. Even had the priviledge of sharing the water with the sea lions occasionally, great fun!

    I would like to hear more of your adventures in the CI's they help jog mine Here is a typical shot of the coast line of Santa Rosa that is always wind swept and had a huge cattle operation on it until the Parks system took it by use of the Coastal Commission from the family that owned it for over 140 years! It was the end of an area and now you can camp on it by permit and there is a huge Sea Lion colony thats makes it home! Great Whites are known in this area and used to take the occasional Abalone diver in the 70's!

    I'll dig through some of the old photos and see what I can come up with. I don't go as far back as you in that area, only about 6 or 8 years, but when my other half lived in the LA area, we had some great trips out to Catalina and Annacapa. I was living in Chicago at the time and found the Wrigley connection interesting aswell.

    They owned Santa Cruz and traded their interest in it for Catalina via the Grainy family.... The grainy's got Santa Cruz (3/4 of it) and the Wriggles got Catalina! A few years back it went to the state parks system and like Santa Rosa it is by permit only!
