June 4, Dale Sheckler - Fun with California Marine Life. Animals of the California oceans exhibit specific behavior patterns that, properly understood, can add greatly to the enjoyment of any California dive. Knowing how these creatures will react in various situations will help you improve your underwater photography and will expand your understanding of how each animal fits into their ecosystem. Furthermore, you will find that on a limited basis you can interact with these animals. Dive often enough in one spot may even get to know some animals on individual basis. Also covered will be how NOT to interact with California marine life. Dale is Founder and currently Editor-At-Large of the California Diving News magazine. He also started the annual Scuba Show event which recently has been located in the Long Beach Convention Center.
