Southern California Oil and Gas platform images

Do you want to see what we see when we dive around platforms off central and southern California? Do you want to know what lives around these structures? Do you just despise ad copy that asks you questions?

Here are a number of images. Look through the thumbnails, browse the larger images and, if the muse grabs you by the nostrils, well just contact us (Milton Love, love@lifesci.ucsb.edu) and we can arrange to send you what will usually be higher resolution scans of the images of your choice.

Note that these images were not taken by anonymous cybergs (though this is not to say that anonymous cybergs could not take very good pictures indeed). Please credit the photographers when you use the pics.
