Big Sur is an unspoiled wilderness area of California consisting of the Los Padres National Forest and a number of state parks, forming a coastal region threaded only by Highway 1 and the occasional country road. With Monterey and Morro Bay at its northern and southern borders, respectively, the coast is exposed without shelter to the consistent swell of the Pacific Ocean, and dive opportunities are few and far between.
Each year, the Truth Aquatics Vision liveaboard, normally based out of Santa Barbara, schedules a summer charter departing from Morro Bay to dive the relatively pristine waters of Big Sur for four days. I joined a trip in June of 2007, and finally had the time to put together a summary gallery of images. Visibility ranged from a mediocre 10ft (it is California! 
) to an exceptional 50-60ft, and there was a refreshing abundance of fish and invertebrate life.
For all the images, visit the Big Sur 2007 gallery - I always appreciate constructive criticism (or just regular criticism 
).
