What a cool pic...
QuoteEnal, a young sea nomad, rides on the tail of a tawny nurse shark, in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Marine nomadism has almost completely disappeared in South East Asia as a result of severe marine degradation. I believe children such as Enal have stories that could prove pivotal in contemporary marine conservation. (Photograph by James Morgan, National Geographic Traveler Photo Contest)

Amber lens mask is a good option for the merk. Makes the dive more comfortable.

Shark Attacks Kayak Off Cambria Coast - KCOY Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo - News
QuoteWarnings were posted in Cambria after a great white shark bit down on a kayak off the coast moonstone beach this past Saturday.
The bite left a 24' gash in the kayak. According to fish and game over the years there have been several credible great white sittings on the central coast. Mike Harris, an environmental scientist for the department says, "to me it seems reasonable that there could be more white sharks in the area, and if there's more sharks there's going to be more interactions with sea otters, kayakers or surfers. So it could be that there is an increase in sharks numbers in the area but the data is not there yet to really support that."
The department of fish and game says locally they'll be doing studies within the next year to address the increase in shark activity.

Update on an old thread....
SoCal lobster poacher gets 7 days in jail, $20,000 in fines - The Daily Breeze
QuoteDisplay MoreSANTA ANA - A diver who admitted poaching lobster in Laguna Beach State Marine Reserve had to give up all his gear, serve a seven-day jail sentence, pay fines of more than $20,000 and promise to stay away from protected areas.
Marbel A. Para, 30, of Romoland, who, along with a partner, was caught with 47 California spiny lobster Jan. 15, pleaded guilty in an Orange County court to crimes related to illegally taking more than three times the daily limit of lobster.
"This diver intentionally took a huge over-limit of lobster with no regard for the current laws," said Paul Hamdorf, assistant chief of the state Department of Fish and Game. "He didn't follow any fish and game laws, including (restrictions on taking lobster in Marine Protected Area)."
The daily limit for recreational fishing is seven lobsters per day. Divers can catch them by hand, or they can be caught with baited hoop nets, set by boaters or from piers. Lobsters are in season from early October through mid- March.
Fish and Game wardens spotted the pair after midnight, and all but five of the lobster were undersize, according to the department. Lobsters have to be about 8 inches long or be thrown back.
Para, who was sentenced May 4, took responsibility for the entire haul, and his companion was not cited.
The case was the first of its kind prosecuted since a law took effect Jan. 1, establishing protected marine areas.

it is scary how smart those things are
the only comforting part was when they said orcas don't like shallow water. i know i've seen videos of them coming up on the beach though, but i'm going to tell myself that's a different pod somewhere in australia that do that.
i also like at the end where they said a teenage whale got distracted and was screwing around chasing birds while everyone was hunting haha...that woulda been me!
These pods have been seen just outside the kelp line and out by the R10 buoy hunting sea lions and harbor seal. Probably 40-80 feet depth.

Yum yum. Maybe you were spooking multiple halibut. They do like to bunch up in that murky water.
