Last weekend Jesi and I drove from Los Angeles to Monterey, Ca for some SCUBA diving. Jesi only had a few dives to finish to complete her divemaster training. I agreed to get her through her last dives to certification.
We drove six hours to make it to Trista’s apartment in Monterey a little before 1am. A few hours of sleep later, we were up and on our way to rent some gear and hit the water. Diving waits for no man!
On Saturday night Trista joined us for an awesome night dive. I didn’t think to bring my camera which was rather unfortunate. We saw at least six baby octopi walking along the bottom hunting for food. Some of them didn’t seem to mind us looking at them. One or two were a little mad. It was so neat seeing the babies walk along the bottom foraging for food!
Sunday saw us complete several more dives before we turned our car south and headed home along the coastal highway. South of Big Sur we just made it through a police roadblock before a lifeflight helicopter landed and shut down the highway. Without traffic behind us it turned into a very pleasant drive back to LA.
