My brother and his wife were in town for a few days, so I took them Scuba Diving in the dive park in Avalon. We took the Catalina Flyer over. The water was absolutely flat for the ride over. When we arrived in Avalon the temp was 80°, with only a few clouds in the sky and no wind. Since they are not certified divers we were doing an introductory dive with a dive outfit there in Avalon. They provided all the equipment as well as a short course on diving safety. The dive was perfect. The visibility was about 30 feet. My brother and his wife blew through there air in about 18 minutes, so it was a short dive, but well worth it. Here are some images…

The garibaldi’s love to pose for pictures.
This guy did not want me to take his picture. I took several and this was the best one.
Some shots of the Kelp Forest.
Another Garibaldi that wanted his picture posted on OAUSA.
The ride back to Newport was great; we pulled into the harbor just in time to catch the sunset.
I didn't know either.
Nice photo shop on the sunset
