I grew up about as far from the ocean as you can get while still living in the United States. I saw the ocean once during college in Florida and again on a cruise through the Caribbean. Eventually, I moved to the other side of the country to Southern California.

Even then it took a few years more before I would stumble across a National Geographic article on nudibranchs. A quick Google search led me to discover some local photographers, which led to more nudibranch photos, and eventually the realization that Southern California has some really good diving and fascinating marine life!

I’ve dove as far north as British Columbia, in California from Monterrey to San Diego, glimpsed the Caribbean and explored a handful of locations throughout Indonesia and the Philippines. Future trips include…. just about everywhere!
