http://scubadivergirls.com Scuba Diver Girls Margo and Occhi were leading a guided tour on March 20th 2010 in La Jolla Ecological Reserve. They were enjoying the beautiful visibility after a long winter of bad conditions! The dive plan was to dive along the reef with the La Jolla Sea Caves as the destination. During March this dive is teaming with life but the biggest attraction is the horn sharks! They are everywhere hiding under the rocks, swimming by and generally just hanging out. They truly are a site to see! The other main attraction on this dive is the sea lions who have made the side of the cliffs their home.

Not long after they dropped down, they came upon an abandoned lobster trap. Margo spotted it first and realized there was a horn shark trapped inside! Occhi immediately picked up the trap and attempted to free the half dead shark by shaking him toward the opening in the trap. Margo realized the shark could not find his way out so she reached in and by his tail, guided him through the opening. He escaped to safety!

If anyone knows of a company that will retrieve these abandoned traps from La Jolla Cove, please contact us with their information. There are a number of these traps on the bottom of the ocean trapping marine life who are then left to die there. We are willing to mark the traps so they can be removed!

Our Friday the 13th (6/13/2008, lol) scuba diving trip at the Georgia Aquarium. We were one of the very first ever able to do this. Imagine being within millions of gallons of water, surrounded by all sorts of various fish, from whale sharks, hammerheads, blacktips, sawfish, whiprays, giant grouper, tarpon, etc. The experience was absolutely amazing! If you scuba, you should do this!

The first 3 minutes is the opener, filmed previously, that most likely everyone will get on their video of their scuba diving adventure. The next 5:47 seconds is actually the pod (dive team) we were apart of. At 3:00 min in exactly, you will see me on the far right, and and my best friend next to me. From then, you’ll see us throughout the remaining of the video.

Great news article from the AP about the GA Aquarium:

From the Georgia Aquarium’s website:

“Dive with Gentle Giants is the only opportunity in the world where you are guaranteed to SCUBA dive with the largest fish in the world, the whale shark, in Georgia Aquarium’s Ocean Voyager exhibit.”
