In late October, the Blue World team consisting of Julia Cichowski, Todd Kelly and Jonathan headed out to Guadalupe Island in Mexico on a mission to film some Great White Sharks. Our trip was cut short by a day due to some "fishy" problems with the charter boat, and overall our luck was not terribly great with the sharks. Overall, to be honest, it was a bit of a disappointment. After that, we headed north to Los Angeles, where we hopped a ferry out to Catalina Island, one of the greatest places on Earth to dive in southern California kelp forests.
It's hard to believe that in all these years, we haven't made a segment about kelp forests!
We stayed at the lovely Hermosa Hotel and dove with Scuba Luv Catalina for 3 days of outstanding diving! We filmed some amazingly beautiful kelp and even an incredible encounter with an electric Torpedo Ray! This exciting segment will be part of season 4 in 2013!
