From Dive Buddy
Mike Walsh comes The California Coastal Records
Project , an effort by an husband and wife team to photograph the
entire California coastline. You can click on the website and enter a
named location (such as “Stillwater Cove”)
and it will search the database for your selection. Of course, many coastal
locations do not have names so you may have to do some manual searching
to find an out-of-the-way location. It is a good
way to show non-diving friends where you have been diving, or to tell
your dive buddies about a new dive spot you want to try. You can also
download pictures from the website (for personal use only) at no charge.
