The right side is has more kelp but the left side the drop off is more abrupt and comes up quickly,my dive buddy and I hit 110’ very quickly and found the shelf as a staircase of rocks climbing up to around 80’ ,anemones are huge and fish are very big because the water is deeper and more open. Anywhere out there is a great dive, just read the water and weather before diving 👍
I love Monastery and haven't dove there since the storms last winter. I hear the beach is different. You must be entering way North because you made it look easy
San Jose Creek has now chopped through the berm and flows out in front of the north-side entry, instead of the far side reef-you don't need to cross the creek to the beach anymore! I entered from the school-side entry beyond the beach to access the canyon sooner-easy that day, but not always!
Great job, super interesting and very engaging. You must burn a lot of air with all the dialogue! Like you when filming I generally dive alone but at very conservative depths. I live in Denmark but originally from the UK and ex BBC filming. So cold water diving in the winter here but very nice in the summer months.
