Anacapa Island Pelican Preserve, California, U.S.A. Anacapa Island State Marine Preserve is the breeding ground for the endangered Brown Pelicans.

Length 2:30 (SD800 IS AVI) Garibaldi - California official state marine fish. (SD800 IS JPEG)  A giant lobster inside a trap. I hope the lobster was to be studied by the scientists not eaten. (SD800 IS JPEG)  Fascinating seascape. (SD800 IS JPEG)  (SD800 IS JPEG)  The fish were not afraid of the divers... they should be. (SD800 IS JPEG)  A colorful Bat Starfish. (SD800 IS JPEG)  We have become the scuba-diving family, looking forward to more underwater adventures. (SD800 IS JPEG)  Bat Starfish come in so many different colors. (SD800 IS JPEG)  Can you see the Flounder in the sand? (SD800 IS JPEG)  A Giant Spined Starfish. (SD800 IS JPEG)  A beautiful jellyfish. (SD800 IS JPEG)  The only part of the body not fully covered was the face so the chance of getting stung was quite minimal. (SD800 IS JPEG)  These yellow-orange colored fish were all over the kelp garden. (SD800 IS JPEG)  Being surrounded by giant kelp is awesome! You don't find this in the Tropics! (SD800 IS JPEG)  We arrived back at Ventura Harbor just as the sun was setting. (SD800 IS JPEG)
