Since I’ve been spending half the year in Puerto Morelos Mexico, traveling back to San Francisco and scuba diving Monterey has been quite the treat!
During my birthday weekend, I decided to spend it scuba diving. We dove metridium mountain where I got to see a very cute but shy female wolf eel peek through her hole.
I patiently waited for her to come out a bit more so I can a better close up shot of her which I got!

Metridium mountain is known for an abundance of metridiums which are plumose anemones and they look like cauliflower to me 😃.

The white metridums and the bright orange sponges gave quite the contrast to the dark waters of Monterey bay.

I even got up close and personal with a lingcod who was so content having a staring contest with me.

Hoping to be back sometime in October.
