Beautiful diving on Santa Barbara, San Clemente, and Anacapa islands over Labor Day. Water temps in the high 60s and low 70s. Visibility about the same as the temp with occasional dives pushing 80-100'. The hunters were successful getting yellowtail, so plenty of sashimi was enjoyed by all. I had a ton of fun and feel the photography was a success as well.
