I had 3 great dives at Redondo Canyon this week (Vets Park), 1 monday night, 2 last night. I dove with Kalani, Dana, and Andy McKay. Squid are running now. I've seen lots of new species (for me). Waves were small, vis was good. More marine life than I can describe. I saw lots of baby swell sharks last week. A video of the swell sharks is here:
