On Bryan's birthday, last Friday the 7th, I was able to take the day off, so we headed to the dive boat "Spectre" in Ventura Harbor, and set out for the Channel Islands to celebrate his 26th year in our favorite way: diving. Destination: Anacapa Island. Once on board, we met up with Robert (a fellow volunteer diver with Reef Check), so we all dove together during our 3 dives. Although the strong swell was beginning to roll in (which led to huge surf this week!), we were able to get in some great diving- especially when the sea lions would swim around us, begging to play! After helping rescue these intelligent marine mammals for 2 years at the wildlife center, I was awed to finally see CA Sea Lions in their element: swimming in the ocean. (rather than sick or injured on the beach 
)

Hope you enjoyed your birthday dives, Bryan!
