La Jolla Shores 7/19/26

My knees were finally starting to feel better after almost two months since the injury. Not fully healed yet, but I had to take the risk and check out all the nudis that people were talking about. I wasn't even sure if I'd last a full dive but I ended up doing two. It was def worth it! A bit sparse compared to what I imagined. Some moments took a little bit of time to find the next nudi. But they're there, and there's a wide variety of nudis that I haven't really seen at the Shores before. Unfortunately I didn't find the new Okenia species everyone's raving about, but at least I saw a THRESHER SHARK! Sadly no picture of it, you're just going to have to believe me on that one.
