Sea of Cortez

Posted by gkellogg Mon, 03 Oct 2011 21:43:00 GMT

I just returned from a week on the Rocio del Mar diving the northern Sea of Cortez (aka the Gulf of California). We dove along the Midriff Islands and had great encounters with Sperm Whales and Whale Sharks, not to mention the often over-exhuberant Sea Lions.

Check out the photos.

Channel Islands July/August 2011

Posted by gkellogg Sat, 06 Aug 2011 21:34:00 GMT

Recently returned from a 3-day trip on the Horizon out of San Diego. We had two great days at San Clemente Island, and spent the last day outside San Diego, with two dives on the Yukon, a former Canadian Destroyer sunk as an artificial reef and dive site. Unfortunately, it went down early and landed on it's side; it's now known as "Milt's Tilt".

Enjoy the photos.

Western Road Trip

Pictures from my drive out from Florida to California moving Brother-Inlaw Jeff Katz and Bear. Pictures really start in Western Texas, with dramatic images of trains and mesas in New Mexico and Arizona, the Hover Dam, Wind Farms in California and the Mojave Airport/Spaceport.

Channel Islands July 2010

Posted by gkellogg Mon, 19 Jul 2010 15:19:00 GMT

 New photos from my recent dive trip to the Channel Islands.

I had some camera issues in the first couple of days, but things settled down by the time I got to the Macro photography on day 3. I like the perspective on the Nudibranchs. The last couple of shots may be of an embryonic Nudibramch.

The Gold and White Nudibranch is a Horned Aeolid (Hermissenda crassicornis), which is reasonably common in the Northern Channel Islands.

The Purple and Orange is a Spanish Shawl (Flabellina iodinea), also fairly common.

Socorro Pictures 4

Posted by gkellogg Tue, 27 Apr 2010 01:35:00 GMT

 Just got back from Socorro and associated islands. We dove off of the Solmar V, a very nice dive boat operating out of Cabo San Lucas. I got some wonderful pictures of a friendly Giant Manta Rey who did several fly overs during the course of one dive off San Benedicto Island.

My picks for the best pictures of the trip can be found here. More pictures, including people and several sequences of Manta fly overs can be found here.

Nick's Cove

Posted by gkellogg Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:51:00 GMT

Here are photos from our weekend at Nick’s Cove in Tamales Bay with Jen & Ty. The first 9 are from a trip I took there in 2002, well before it was restored. The rest are from the other day. The place you see in the first photo, is actually the "Big Rock" villa we stayed in, before renovation. The Warf has been completely rebuilt and extended. Still very picturesque.
