We met up with our friends Zach and Vera for Vera’s birthday at Limekiln State Park where we stayed overnight. The black sand beach and ocean are beautiful.

Waves rolling in on the beach.
We found a crazy cool salp chain out off of Carmel River Beach. These are wild animals with a crazy multi generational reproductive cycle.
It got a little crowded underwater for a bit with lots of divers coming over to check out the salp chain.

Coming up at our safety stop, we found a high pressure hose sticking out of the sand. Immediately we thought we might have found a body. After digging in the sand, we pulled up the first stage of a reg set. No body, no other gear. Who knows how this got out here but here it is!
It’s an ancient Dacor regulator. This model hasn’t been manufactured since the late 1990s.

Beautiful sunset on San Carlos Beach in Monterey.
We did a little diving and found some sea nettles again. Gotta keep in diving shape for this job.
