Underwater Photography from Catalina Island: Ocean Sports Lompoc-Dive Trip to Two Harbors

(CLICK above for larger view)
We had an awesome time diving on the West End of Catalina Island in Two Harbors and trying out some kayak diving! It was a great adventure, the marine life was thriving, the kelp forests were incredible and the visibility was outstanding! Diving this time of year on the Channel Islands is sensational because of the water clarity, no crowds, and great weather. Happy Fall/Winter Diving to you all!! :)

TROPICAL DIVE TRAVEL DESTINATION 2011: The Hawaiian Islands

                    Giant Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle. Island of Kauai, Hawaii, USA.


Thinking about traveling to the Hawaiian Islands this winter for a nice tropical dive getaway?? Want to see all the Giant Green Sea Turtles you can handle while swimming in and out of beautiful sun-lit caverns? Ever laid eyes on the precious, endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal? Are you ready to get a glimpse of some of the most magnificent creatures the Pacific Ocean has to offer, Humpback Whales!?

Well if you're planning on visiting the oldest of the main islands, Kauai, you'll have the chance to see all of these things while diving! Feel free to stop in to the shop and ask us questions about diving the Garden Island before you go! After spending a whole year living and working on Kauai in the dive industry, we can definitely steer you in the right direction of all the best places to go! :)

We actually just helped a newly certified customer pick out all their necessary dive travel equipment; mask, snorkel, fins, booties and a travel BC plus all the most important tips needed before diving Kauai like who the best and safest dive companies are! And to see a preview of some of the most gorgeous spots above and below the water check out the Photography coffee-table book I created with my images all taken while living on the Island of Kauai. (Click on the book icon below to turn the pages or the view larger link to see a full preview of the high-resolution fine art photography.)

Our first group Dive Trip to the Isthmus on Catalina Island, CA, USA! Dive Travel & Underwater Photography Fun!

  
     Shaun and I were recently named new management of Ocean Sports' Dive Shop of Lompoc, and our first act as such was planning a Group Dive Trip to Catalina Island!! It was this last weekend, Nov 13th-15th, that we took a group of 14 divers over to our favorite diving oasis in Two Harbors, a diver's paradise this time of year!! Most people from California don't even realize the amazing island adventure that lies only 22 miles off the coast of Los Angeles. We were both fortunate enough to have lived and worked at Two Harbors Dive and Recreation on the West end of Catalina for several seasons getting to know the Island and its spectacular diving opportunities very well.

     For those who missed out on this awesome dive trip here are a few of the events that were included; kayaking all three days, unlimited shore dives, 2-tank boat dive, snorkeling, buffalo tours, beach activities like horseshoes, bocci ball, bonfires, and night dives for lobster and cozy little camping cabins for some much needed shut-eye. So here are a few photos from the trip to give you a little taste of how fun it was and what gorgeous weather we enjoyed! You'd never guess it was mid November! :)


































Thanks for taking a look! And thanks to all our divers and freedivers that came along making our trip an awesome experience for all in the group! :) We were happy to have you all along and enjoyed sharing our little slice of paradise!! :)   ~ Kim and Shaun
