Oops...we did it again! SCUBA diving Channel Islands National Park

---

Once you go on one live-aboard SCUBA trip to the Channel Islands, you will make sure that you don't miss another! It's been for 3 years in a row now that on July 4, myself and 25 others embark on a journey across the great expanse of ocean wilderness off the coast of Southern California. Next to the Sierra Nevada, the Channel Islands are the next best experience of the Wilderness of Calfiornia. Instead of exploring conifer forests of Pines, Redwoods and Sequoia's, you explore forests of Kelp teeming with fish, sharks and invertebrates. Did I just say invertebrates?! What I saw on this trip:

• Forests of Kelp - Sponges - Anemones.
• Scallops - Sea Cucumbers - Starfish - Sunflower Stars.
• Nudibranchs - Jellyfish - Spiny Lobsters.
• Eels - Bat Rays - Baitfish.
• Tuna - Flying fish - Giant Sea Bass.
• Sharks - Sea Lions - Dolphins/Birds.
• incredible sunsets - Avalon Bay - Fireworks over Twin harbors - wildfires over Santa Barbara

Traveling is fun!
It would be interesting to make it cheap, too. Sounds like a fun experience.

costs, real and imagined
true- yet look at how some people spend their money. $3 coffees every morning? in 10 months you can pay for the trip. $100 designer shoes? skip buying 2 pair, and buy a ticket to South America. Eating out 3x a week? in 6 months you can be SCUBA diving with sharks. Priorities, priorities!
