Crystal clear blue waters 😍⠀
⠀
My first visit to Lake Tahoe happened to coincide with massive wildfires in the region. While we were lucky enough to experience some clear skies, most of our trip was challenged by poor air visibility and quality. Despite the smoke from the fires, I think this trip was absolutely amazing. Paddleboarding on the lake is a dream and even with the lack of sun, we could still see down dozens of feet. While it may not have the marine life of the ocean, I was still stoked to see a crawdad and some really cute minnows. The most impressive sightings were the fully preserved trees and massive granite boulders just below the water's surface. ⠀
⠀
Lake Tahoe is one of the deepest lakes in the world. 2nd deepest in the United States and tenth in the world. The average depth is 1,000 feet and the deepest part is 1,645 feet deep. To put this into perspective, if Chicago's Willis Tower were placed in the lake, the top of its antennae would be 195 below the surface. You could stack 2 of Seattle's Space Needle and still have 435 feet to spare to get to the surface.

This is a Great White Shark.

I heard that there were some Great Whites hanging off our coast so I decided to go out and see if I could find them with my drone. Never in my life did I think I would see a Great White from my drone. And just off the coast, about 40 yards past the surf break. At one point I saw some racing paddle boarders paddle almost directly over the shark without know it was there. More pics and video(s) to come.

Leopard Sharks are the most common shark along the California coast. They enjoy spending time on the ocean floor in kelp forests and close to shore and are considered bottom feeders. Their mouth is perfectly located on the bottom of their head to more easily gobble up clams, crabs, and other things that lay close to the bottom. ⠀
⠀
Their beautiful markings are as unique to them as a fingerprint is to us. As the shark ages, their interior spots become lighter. ⠀

That's a moray. ⠀
⠀
A Californian Moray Eel to be exact. These fish are long and have a snake-like body. Unlike other fish, they lack gills so they must constantly open and close their mouth to breathe. They can grow up to 5 feet in length, but this one was a tiny one coming in around 2 feet. I spotted this guy out of the corner of my eye and it's still the only time I've seen a moray eel in our local waters. They kind of look like they are posing for a portrait 😂⠀
⠀
If their snake-like body and breathing behavior isn't odd enough, scientists think the water in SoCal is too cold for them to reproduce here. The morays found in SoCal are thought to hatch off Baja and their larval state floats up here. 🤯 ⠀

Taking advantage of the salad bar 🐢🥗⠀
⠀
I haven't seen a sea turtle or visibility like this since February. Don't let that dreamy blue water with a turtle fool you. The water temperature was in the low 50's on the day this was taken and the only skin of mine that wasn't exposed was my chin and my cheeks. ⠀
⠀
Juvenile sea turtles will come into local waters to forage for food, their favorite being red algae. While they are super cute and chill, please do not harass or touch them. Not only are Sea Turtles wild and can bite you, but they are also federally protected. It is a federal offense to touch/ harass/grab these shellebrities. ⠀

Imagine swimming with all these Leopard Sharks. 😍

Female leopard sharks congregate in shallow waters off La Jolla in California to incubate their pups 🦈🦈🦈

How many sharks can you count? 🦈
⠀
⠀
Tope Sharks are also known as Soupfin Sharks. I'll give you one guess why. This name is descriptive of how people exploit these sharks, for shark fin soup. I didn't know that until recently and thought it was such a bizarre name and was confused when people would call them both Tope and Soupfin sharks. Tope Sharks are listed as critically endangered due to overfishing. ⠀
⠀
When I finally made my way back into the water after my 6-month hiatus I couldn't have asked for a better welcome to my second home. A congregation of both Leopard Sharks and Tope Sharks was occurring. I was still without my regular underwater set-up but was able to capture some nice shots in timelapse mode on my @GoPro.⠀Imagine being completely still at the surface of the water and dozens of 5-6 foot sharks swimming underneath you. It was a remarkable experience. Swipe through to see this beauty come in for her close-up. How do I know it's a she? Most, if not all, of these sharks were pregnant 🤰and gave birth just a few days later. The came into the shallow water for this event.

Vibe checker incoming 🔍⠀
⠀
I was looking for a sea turtle when I noticed this seagull full-on staring at me trying to figure out what I was. Normally seagulls do not entice me to stick around, but I really wanted to see what this guy was up to. I ignored my friends' notification that they found a turtle while I sat completely still to see how close this guy would get to me. He basically came over so close that he could kick my face with his cute little webbed feet before realizing I wasn't what he thought I was and flew away. ⠀
⠀
This was towards the end of the winter when water temperatures are a generous mid to upper 50 degrees. My guess is he thought I was a sea lion or harbor seal since I was wearing my black hood, gloves, wetsuit, and fins and did not look like a person. 🤷‍♀️⠀

Cute with a side of fierce. ⠀
⠀
Harbor seals are some of the most adorable creatures on the planet. But you do not want to get on their bad side (this rings true with all wildlife). In this first photo you can see some serious claws on this juvenile harbor seal. Swipe over to the first video and you can see it checking me out and then swimming away (I was staying still). If you swipe again you can see a mom with her newborn and she is not f-ing around with the seal that is getting too close to her and her baby. This behavior is common for harbor seals when they are in defense mode. ⠀
