I had a trip of California on Jan. 2004. I had visited to "Monterey Bey Aquarium" and met Giant Kelp. It was very beautiful and I was fascinated. Before I went to the aquarium, I had decided not to dive because of low temperature. But I had thought that I wanted to see the kelp forest in the actual ocean.
So I had dived once at Monterey. I had made up my mind to dive into the cold ocean. It had been just cold. But the Kelp Forest was very beautiful. I had swum in the forest. There were large leaves, air vesicles, or strong holdfasts. And many animals live on the kelp.
It was very mysterious.
It is so cold, but I recommend you to dive in the kelp forest.
