Comments	Kristy and Her Dad Bill Finstad are Marine Biologists. They offer a variety of trips in Monterey (Marine Biology is the emphasis) the Channel Islands and World Wide. They are a nice group of folks and I enjoy diving with them. We dove Bluefish Pinnacles and Blue Fish Cove. Saw Mola Mola and Sheep Head for the first time in Northern California Waters. Usually these fish are not seen north of Pt. Conception. Global Warming??? The pinnacles dive was magical. An incredible wall that went from less than twenty feet to over 120'. Blue fish cove is a shallower dive with swim throughs and narrow shoots. Monterey is a special place and probably one of my favorite places to dive. Swimming through a kelp forest is tantamount to hiking through the giant redwoods. Life is abundant with macros and cold water fish. Not really for the typical undercurrent reader. But a special place for those who enjoy cool water diving.
