It is that time of year when plants begin to bloom. Most are harmless but there is one plant that everyone should be cautious of - Poison Oak or Poison Ivy. Poison Oak/Poison Ivy, if a person comes in contact with it, they will likely develop a rash that may vary from a minor aggravation to a serious problem.
Take care out there.
For diving the Monterey coast we are seeing the return of the Kelp forest. This means the water is getting cloudy, if you can see at all; the fish are spawning and fertilizing eggs; the Red tide and Green soup (algae bloom) is back. If you are going to stay in shallow water, be cautious. Diving during a red tide should be avoided as much as possible.
