My family has come to Catalina for vacations and outings for many years. My dad was always a scuba diver hunting for lobsters or yellowtail and white Seabass.

I recently got scuba certified and now I get to explore the underwater world. It is really quite phenomenal and words don't do it justice.

A dream of mine is to go to the Galápagos Islands and snorkel or scuba with the only ocean-going lizards, the marine iguanas.

Here we have a Mola Mola, or Ocean Sunfish.

The guy was just chilling on the surface of the ocean warming its body with the sunlight. I'm surprised that it totally didn't mind that we drove up to it. It looked so care free.

Here we have some dolphins swimming with the boat. This is actually common and something they do to play. Dolphins are really such majestic creatures. It never gets old.
