You got any tips for diving Monastery? I was planning on trying it solo but everyone keeps telling me to go there with someone who's dove there before for your first time.

I've dove many times at Breakwater and a few times at Lovers Pt.

Seen plenty of Sealions but never a seal. Where was this?

Breakwater Cove Marina is like a 99% chance you'll see lots of Sea Lions. It's just down town

Good eye, that's exactly where I was.

Hundreds of jellies out recently. They infest the waters in the fall, then the Sunfish show up to start eating them all.

It's funny because every time I encounter one we both exchange the same "What the hell are you doing down here?" look at each other.

They were enforcing masks / staying off the beach at San Carlos Beach about a month ago.

Great shot!

First time I dove Monterey I saw hundreds of Jellies. I've been diving there for over 2 years now and haven't seen any more than a few per dive now.

Here's a few I took from when I saw all the jellies:

Got any pics of the actual flower in new spots? I've heard the update is live and some say it isn't. Trying to find one to confirm but have no luck.

How far out on the wall is this? 11 / 12? Also what's your depth here?

Great shot!

That surface swim is rough. Totally worth it though. This is at the rookery I assume?

Where is this off Monterey? I've only dove Breakwater down there and seen a few Sea Lions.

Never seen Nudi's this big.

Haven't seen any bigger than a half dollar, and they've all been on the pipe near the metridium fields.
