So excellent.

I just sent my dive buddy over.

A couple of weekends ago we were diving off the Horizon at San Clemente island. We were seeing Soupfin sharks all day.

On one dive, at about 70 feet I saw two sharks come over my right shoulder and go by into this box canyon. The underwater topography at San Clemente is pretty rugged (see shots below I took on that trip.) I motion to her to come and see these two - as I knew it was a box canyon and they'd have to come out right by us.

We're on scooters, so we buzz over - and I look up and I see two GIANT WSB's and they turn and blast over us, about a foot over our heads at about a million miles per hour, just croaking up a storm.

I've done 1600 or 1700 dives, and I've never seen a WSB on open circuit. I've caught them (off a private boat, never a kayak) and seen free divers bring them up on dive boats and stuff. Never seen one on OC. I was pretty blown away to see two so close. I remember their huge broom tails going right over my head.

I just sent her here to see this vid - I told her "this is what we saw blast over us. When I took us to go see the sharks..."

She watched the vid. Her response:

wow o wow o WOW.

I don't fish and this was exciting.

'yak fisherfolk are bad a$$, no doubt.

Dat sea is so big and yo' boat iz soo small.... and the fish are HUGE.

Torqeedo motor? A little outboard on the back of the kayak? Paddle out and motor home with heavier boat and tired arms? How nice!

Looks addicting.

Waking up on San Clemente does not suck.

Some of the topography along the island. Lots of knife-edge rocks and canyons like this.
