Oil Platform Grace aboard the Sunfish March 10th, 2007
The boat left Channel Islands Harbor at 7:00 AM and we were ready to dive at the oil platform by 9:30. Weather was warm and there were about 20 divers aboard. Those with California fishing licenses were delighted at the thick coverage of scallops. For me, the highlight was the colorful variety of invertebrates awaiting my camera. The photo gallery can be seen here. Enjoy the video.
