Abalone

Made it up to the coast this month to do some Abalone Diving in Mendocino. Possibly my favorite thing to do in the world. We drove the highway until we found the perfect spot, and got some abalone, urchin and some perch with the spears after about 3 hours of diving. I brought along an underwater film camera I bought. The visibility was too poor for any actual underwater shots, but got some pics none the less. —Tim

Abalone 2012 pt.2 mega underwater camera edition

Every year, a group of us go Abalone diving up the Northern California Coast. Really glad that Eric decided to hit Best Buy on the way out of town to grab any underwater camera they had. I shot a few rolls, but these underwater camera photos definitely fill in what it's actually like in the water. Thanks again Eric for the great photos and awesome adventure times had. —Tim

We went with friends that actually knew what they were doing.

kelp everywhere. Stuff is very sketchy.

Johns first time diving off of the California Coast. Success.

tasty times.
