My best dive was diving San Miguel Island off the California Coast this October. You don’t get to get there very often to to weather and currents. We haven’t been able to get to the island for the last three years.. Anyway, I was on my 3 day live aboard and on the second day, the the weather Gods blessed us, we dove the Island. The day was sunny, around 75 degrees, water was calm almost like glass, visibility was outstanding 75 - 100 feet, great kelp forrest large fish and I was able to swim following large ray through the kelp at about 45 feet down. I was able to follow it for about 50 yards before it took off. It was really amazing
