Langley Harbor. July 19, 2024. The crabbing season is in full swing. Some fishermen did not calculate the tides and their pots are being lifted off the bottom by the rising tide... https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos/i-qfvzwTk/0/MLDPD34L68s3N6k2pHgXPJDZ82LGQbT4XxPFBXmzT/XL/7.19.24%20Langley%20H...

Skyline, July 13, 2024. The string of cloudless, sunny and warm days continue. It was time to check the Skyline waters. Although the visibility wasn't good, the marine life on the underwater wall does not disappoint. Only my eyesight did fail to spot not one, but three Candy Stripe shrimp on the bod...

Driftwood Pond #2. July 5, 2024. No Moon jellies in this pond. Lots of White Bubble Shell slugs. https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos/i-7HMZT36/0/LPg9Dj8brs5z9t3PQ3WZ6FLc6Gn26WnD7qfGPNJfD/XL/7.5.24%20%20Water%20jelly%20JK-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos/i-x6K6Gr9/0/MLmn4cfTRBtcPs...

Keystone Jetty. July 10, 2024 dive. Finding crab trap in th middle of jetty's Plumose anemone field wasn't good. Unfortunately the current was running and I had hands full to retrieve it, but kudos to Bob from Anacortes Diving who did remove it from our underwater park. https://photos.smugmug.com/La...

Driftwood Pond #2. July 5, 2024. The underwater scene changing with the summer slimy algae covering almost everything, the Japanese wireweed dying off. https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos/i-PWvccp4/0/K84QJbjNP2wjXMNK6LFpx9MMfsW78dXsd2tKXtvnZ/XL/7.5.24%20%20Driftwood%20Pond%20%232%20Dive%201-XL....

Driftwood Park, July 4, 2024. Checking out the open waters, still affected by the planktonic bloom. Crabs of the tire reef. https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos/i-wNgQnT3/0/NKsJJcDdDcpbdtwLTkC5ZgS9QVW5Mq4bWtNN38GW9/XL/7.4.24%20Driftwood%20Park%20%20Dive%201-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Late...

Jan - thank you, as always, for your wonderful photographs AND the information you post with them. I learn so much from you. One question about Driftwood Pond #1 - have you dived it at night when bioluminescence is active? Just wondering because some years ago, we were playing in the bioluminescenc...

Driftwood Pond #1. July 3, 2024. Yes, plenty of Moon jellies, most of them very, very small. Some are dying... https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos/i-nWmPks6/0/Lb6rQSZ7RZ3ZF89CTMjf9rtnW3qq6J3KD2JtdqvMQ/XL/7.3.24%20Driftwood%20Pond%20%231%20Dive%201-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos...

Langley Harbor, July 1, 2024. Still struggled with bad visibility. Still, I managed to find 26 Sunflower stars. https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos/i-zJh3Vtb/0/KjP8PwFtLctMFWHvfZ9XsqXwcCKRbMZTczS8B5XBk/XL/7.1.24%20Langley%20Harbor%20Dive%201-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos/i-TNF...

Keystone Jetty, June 26, 2024 dive. Some of the fish I encountered. Fred the Scalyhead male left the barnacle and Pygmy rock crab moved in. https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos/i-9F5rvZW/0/MQdgLzSPG4W35cscW3gFtnHN89xVDFmSG5LksZZ9D/XL/6.26.24%20%20Keystone%20Jetty%20Dive%201-XL.jpg https://photos...

June 19, 2024, Langley Harbor. Another wetsuit venture into the underwater world of planktonic soup. Checking the area for Sunflower stars, did find 31. Not too bad in view of the fact that I could survey only the deepest part because visibility in water shallower than 25 feet was only couple of fee...

@Jan K No, your photos are perfect. Thanks for sharing :) Thank you. Double Bluff beach, June 16, 2024. Wading through the shallows, visibility not good, Spring bloom still in effect. https://photos.smugmug.com/Latest-photos/i-W3jL7vC/0/CjVnmDbn5WCvqLw4qknP2jPWNBkwVBzWfbd8cK687/XL/6.16.24%20D%20Blu...

Deception Pass, June 14, 2024 dive. Since my drysuit is being repaired, I dug out my old wetsuit. Unfortunately, the visibility was not good, it seems that this year's planktonic bloom lasts much longer. The slack was short and I did miss my drysuit, At the end of 45 minutes, I was reminded that whe...
