It was going to be another lousy dive. Visibility was 3 feet with a moderate surge. I had just finished my descent to 15 feet about 20 yards from the close in kelp bed, and I was taking my bearings, when I saw it. I guess my excitement got the best of me, and I exhaled a little too forcefully, and scared him away. God, he was beautiful. I knew I would see this fish some day. It took 60 dives and 2 years, but I finally achieved this milestone. I hope he stayed away from the fishing boats. :}
