Check off a few of the brilliantly colored local nudibranchs from your bucket list. Swim through enchanting jellyfish as thick as soup. Dive with charming, captivating, and cute sea otters. Swim among 3-foot-tall sea anemones. Hang out with charismatic wolf eels. Buck up and and earn the cold-water diving merit badge.
