On this dive adventure, See them travel to sunny San Diego to dive the famous Kelp Forest in La Jolla Cove. The Kelp Forest stretches along the southern coast of California. La Jolla Cove is one of the few places in the San Diego area that features clear underwater visits year round. It's the perfect place for snorkeling and viewing ocean life. Visibility is about 30 feet. The cove is protected from fishing and kelp harvesting and is maintained as a marine sanctuary. In unprotected areas, the kelp is harvested to make vitamins. They also dive with giant Black Sea Bass, only native to that region in this cove. These giant Sea Bass range in size from 60 to 300 lbs, with the largest growing up to 500 lbs. While there, they offer a mini-tribute both to a fish and to a man. They interview long time native, Rod Watkins, NAUI instructor and owner of Scuba San Diego, who tells about a special friend of divers named Blacky, a giant Sea Bass about 300 lbs in size, who would swim up to greet divers and allow them to pet him. Unfortunately, a ruthless diver with a spear gun killed him, even though Blacky was in the protected waters of La Jolla Cove. They tribute is also to a very special man, Steve Irwin, the famous Crocodile Hunter who was loved the world over. Also, in San Diego, we encounter one of the area's largest concentrations of protected seals sleeping on the shoreline. As usual, Dive Travel first takes you on a city wide tour of San Diego to show you some ofthe various attr actions and the hospitality this southern California city has tooffer divers and visitors.
