Diving the Southern Islands

My first limited load trip in what seems to be ages. For those unfamiliar with the term "limited load", it is a trip aboard the Vision (of the Truth Aquatics fleet) in which booking is limited to 25 passengers (hence the name) on a boat that can hold 40. The food is better and the have someone (me) available to process slide film. Those features alone make the trip nice. The added bonus for this trip is that the destination is the Southern Channel Islands (San Clemente, Santa Barbara, and Catalina) home of clear, warm water and beautiful kelp.
