Description

One of the fun things about being a relatively inexperienced diver is the common things are totally awesome. I haven't been to the famous Metridium Fields at Monterey, and I've never seen these giant Metridium before, so I was pretty psyched to see them growing all over the anchor! As you can see, there was a bit too much chunk to get a decent shot of things this big (each was about the size of my thigh), but whatever. They were spectacular.
