Went spearfishing with @NauticalNick in Catalina at Pebbly Beach. The kelp forest died off because of the warmer waters and so there weren't many fish. However, the visibility was great. I got lucky and came across a lone yellowtail that I was able to spear.

Went snorkeling today. While water was a bit milky and the waves were a bit choppy, the visibility was decent enough.

Much better visibility than usual today. Speared a couple Corbina and a Sargo in the surf. Water was extra warm, around 75 degrees.
