A diver swims along a colorful temperate reef in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Underwater activities such as SCUBA diving are quite popular amongst the lush kelp forests off shore.
SCUBA diving offers the element of surprise. You often never know what creature or critter you will encounter, especially off the coast of California where pelagic drifters such as this egg yolk jelly accidentally wind up under the kelp forest.
