Gerstle Cove, Dec. 2010

We are scuba diving in Gerstle cove in salt point state park in northern California.
I felt like I was swimming in an aquarium. We had great visability and calm seas.
I am using a Canon HF M30 video camera in an underwater housing.
Hope you enjoy.

Stunning footage, Dave. That rock wrasse was spectacular!

Great Nor Cal dive video, I've dove Gerstle before and the vis wasn't as good as your day, spectacular Wrasse btw.

Awesome Vid. I've always wanted to explore Nor Cal and this makes me want to even more. Thanks for sharing it with us. I noticed your group dives wet. What temps should I expect at Gerstle Cove in the Spring / Summer?

[@Frankpro1]

Respond to this video... Unfortunately I'm still diving wet but this winter has brought colder water temps to So Cal, so switching to a dry suit might be in my near future. My last two dives were in 49 degrees and while it was cold, it wasn't unbearable. Thanks for the info.

Beautiful video! I especially love the hermit crab duel. I've been diving the Norlina wreck trying to establish the overall layout. I'd love to learn some of what you know from diving around there I imagine countless times. I'm familiar with the two big boilers tipped up on their backs, the drive shaft, engine and many outlying areas, but for example I'm still trying to locate the third smaller boiler still on it's side. I think I saw it in one of your other videos, or maybe a buddy of yours. I'd love to get in contact with you, but not sure how to do that through KZbin. I'm in Guerneville, frequent SEALS, and often volunteer as sci diver with BML.

Thanks John, I know a lot less about the Norlina than you do! That video was a one day dive that I did on the Norlina and just stumbled upon the boiler. You can message me on my KZbin channel kzbin.info or find me norcalunderwaterhunters.com NorCal DiverDave

Red algea killed everything there a few yrs ago its starting to come back .I dove it this past weekend. Its to bad because i have seen it the way you did as well. Mother nature what can you do. Its starting to come back some small life but nothing yet like it use to be

hey how deep did you dive? wow thats a lot of fish considering your doing off-shore diving. We take our boat down the ramp and dive @ around 45-70ft. We do some spear fishing but just smaller rock fish. Not much link cod
