This past weekend was as good as it gets in the kelp forests of Monterey Bay—ocean sunfish (Mola mola) patrolling the dropoffs, rockfish schools lazily hiding among the columns of the kelp cathedral, millions of pyrosomes washing up with the currents among the other jellies; and all of it bathed in the clear jadeblue waters of coastal California at its best.

With everything going on in the world, I figured I'd throw together a longform video of the highlights. There's no music, just me breathing—though, as a photographer, I'm using my breathing as buoyancy, so it may or may not be very relaxing. If it is, great! If not, mute this video and play some more fitting music alongside. Enjoy!
