Not my trip report but a series of blog posts and photos just posted that is too good not to share. Cordell Bank is about twenty miles offshore and slightly North of San Francisco. As one can imagine getting three days of diving out there is unusual, in good weather and with good viz. is even more so. Quit reading my feeble explanation and go straight to the source at Cold Water Kitty or watch the summery video if you have a short attention span.

Sorry for chiming in so late Ross, I should log in more often.
That is an awesome video. I used to dive the Northern California coast: Anchor Bay, Russian gulch and a few sites just off 101. One of these days I'd like to drive back through Southern Mendocino county and see how it's changed. But, in the early 90's it was a great place for diving and camping.
Not sure I'd try boat diving out there since there's so much fetch for the westerlies.
Thanks for sharing.

Who performed the music?
It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
