AN UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER’S GUIDE TO CALIFORNIA
18
PRACTICALITIES
WHEN
Mid-summer through winter months (July–January)
generally offer the best visibility, with autumn
months providing an optimal chance for calm
seas and the warmest water. Marine life can vary
depending on the time of year, with blue sharks
and nudibranchs more abundant in the winter and
mako sharks and molas more common in the late
summer/early autumn.
HOW
Numerous international airlines connect to
Los Angeles International Airport. From there,
San Diego, Ventura or Santa Barbara (launch points
for the Channel Islands), and Monterey are easily
reached by car or domestic flight.
