Greetings from Carmel Valley, California, about 12 miles from Backscatter's shop in Monterey!
I'm almost ashamed to admit that the vast majority of my diving and photography has been in warm waters, not in California. Mostly in the Pacific, Caribbean, and Gulf of California.
Check out my article about a recent trip to Raja Ampat, Indonesia.
Thanks to all who put this forum together as an alternative to Wetpixel, where I've learned a lot over the years but now faces an uncertain future.
Cheers, Mike
