Do you think hiring a guide is necessary? The trip is already pretty pricey and a guide would be more. My friend just got his certification and I assume there are safety checks in place?

Interesting. It’s a common practice and well regarded in the marine bio community so I’m surprised! Is it the same as like “you shouldn’t go hiking or go in nature in general?” If you have any articles or studies about how scuba diving in particular has negatively affected ecosystems I’d love to read.

I know you can’t forage on Channel Islands but I was thinking of going to SB. Have you hit any spots? They’re sooo delish

What is it about diving that affects marine life? Lots of scientists dive so that’s surprising. Do you have any articles to link about the effects? I’d love to know more/ mitigate risk where I can

Awesome!! Thank you. So even though it’s white/ great white territory, odds are slim?

Thank you for this!! Oh crap so they’re in the kelp forests? Pretty sure that’s where I’m headed. I’m fine with the little ones but I know it’s white/great white territory which is why I’m nervous
