It’s always exciting to spot a kelpfish while diving! These masters of camouflage can change color to blend with their surroundings, making each encounter a special surprise. During a dive at La Jolla Cove, I had the amazing opportunity to see two kelpfish displaying very different color variations.

That experience inspired me to create Kelpfish Tango, a celebration of these fascinating and beautifully elusive fish.
