As many of you may recall this past December I traveled to Catalina Island in California for some cold
California Diving. The experience was awesome and I had a really great time. While there I dove with
SCUBA LUV Dive Shop. My instructor/Dive Master was Chris Schrad, and we really had a great time
diving and learning about the California Kelp Forest. Here are some of the pictures that Chris has
taken in Catalina and has asked to share them with you. Should you ever go to Catalina, please be sure
to stop by Catalina Scuba Luv and have Chris take you on a tour. As always, if you have pictures you
would like to share with the club, please send them to jeshanks@novascuba.org.
