School of Blacksmith in Sargassum Forest_01

Fields of golden Southern Sea Palm swaying back and forth with the surge and waves, intensely green Surfgrass undulating over the rocky reef, with bright orange Garibaldi fish swimming through the seaweed, together creating a stunning undersea landscape of color and texture. A place where curious California Sea Lions and Harbor Seals come in close to check you out.
