Looks good as long as you can gain access

Looks like all public water access has been shut down for two weeks per https://parks.state.wa.us/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=603 I have an email into them. But I suspect it will be low priority given all the more pressing issues our state, country, world is dealing with. I’ll keep y’all posted. Sent from ...

That’s good news, but I truly hope people don’t abuse this or we will end up in a much worse spot moving forward.

I need to find some lumpsuckers that aren't orange or brown next season. Derek, Your post had me searching through my old lumpy photos for color variations. I think the bright pink one or yellow/red are my favorite. But it’s been a while since I’ve seen something other than orange or brown. https:/...

Doesn’t seem like there is too much interest and I don’t blame anyone, given all the craziness. I’m heading to redondo in the next hour or so to splash a little early. Please join if you want to.

Jesse, that is simply a stunning report. Wow. What an epic dive too. I'm so glad you got to experience that. I would have so loved to have been along. Thanks for sharing, fantastic report and photos my friend! Thank you my friend. I missed having you along. I can’t wait to hear about Panama. Next g...

Incredible stuff! Those blue ringed octos and leafy sea dragons are amazing. It's cool to see someone posting about diving not at the GBR. Thanks for inspiring another bucket list dive trip. Sharkb8, thank you for the shout out. I almost went to GBR too, but I really wanted to focus on capturing th...

Some major bucket list critters BTW. Hammerhead, mola mola, whale shark, dolphins. You checked a lot off the list.

Great cephalopod pics. And the seahorse picture is really cool. It reminds me of the pygmy seahorse pics except not nearly as flat as a lot of those turn out. The texture of the gorgonian (or whatever it's on) really pops. Much appreciated Derek. Thank you. I was excited about the seahorse pics too...

Wow, really loved reading your report along with the photos. So detailed. Way to rock the NWD shirt! The leafy and pajama squid are incredible creatures and worth the travel to see in this lifetime. It was bitter-sweet. There was something magical about capturing photos by myself and not worrying a...

Thanks YE, it certainly was a dive to remember.

Argh, I’m Chi-town and STL this week. I’ll throw down a slice of deep dish or Chicago dog for the crew

Talk about Bonanza! You sure hit a paydirt down under! Thanks for sharing stuff which we don't see here. I appreciate you took the time to include narrative too, something I am not capable... Hard to pick up a favorite picture. I like them all. Thank you very much JK. I was thinking about how cool ...

What a fabulous, detailed report! Edithburgh sounds like one of the best dives of your life. I liked how you peppered the pics into the narrative - a truly magical experience! Still think the LSD’s are my favorite of your awesome shots below - really like the silhouette of such a beautifully ornate...

Amazing work just by sticking your head in the water. When you got it, you got it

P.S. I still have a lot of work to do on my gallery. I have about (180) photos to review and I need to organize and arrange the photos in the gallery, so more to come :-)

I recently traveled to South Australia to capture photos of the rare Pyjama Squid and Leafy Seadragon. The trip down under did not disappoint. "The Diving" The diving was in Australia's summer time so the water was between 68-70 degrees. The week before I arrived it was 120 degrees. However, the wee...

Bravo. Super Duper Legit.
