Warbonnets at Sund Rock
Went to Sund Rock today and was delighted to actually be able to see things! Even with all the rain - there was a good 15 to 20 feet viz below about 15 feet. At 65 feet - the water opened up considerably more. My favorite part of the two dives was watching (and taking pictures) of a grunt sculpin on...

Re: Salt Water State Park and TTN 12/31
Jess,
Nice job capturing the fish eggs with the ability to see the little babies inside - nicely done!
Glad to hear that you both were able to get out and get some diving done this weekend!

Re: Smash and Grab Theft!
Thanks, Jesse!
I did go out and get a Canon 7D, a new macro lens (the same 60mm) and a new Nauticam housing.
This is one of those times that I actually liked my setup - so I had no reason or desire to change or "upgrade."

Smash and Grab Theft!
Last Saturday, Nov. 28th - I woke up early (4:15AM) and got ready to go diving! I stopped in Federal Way on 320th at Starbucks at 5:00AM to get some coffee fuel and a breakfast sandwich. I was in the shop for less than 4 minutes. During that time - someone drove up, got out, smashed my passenger rea...

Flagpole Update
Went with Dale back to Flagpole today. Viz was really weird - the first ten feet were really clear. Then the viz shot down to 2 feet (yes - and 2 feet at most!). Then at 30 feet, it started opening back up. Even at 80 feet - the viz was okay (15 to 20 feet) - but it never fully cleared up. Even with...

Elephant Wall and Cockerell's Dorid Appearance
Dale and I returned to Flagpole and Elephant Wall today after a one month absence from the Hood. Viz was a bit milky on top - due to silt from the rain run off of this past week. Below 40 feet - the view cleared up quite a bit! At Flagpole, there are now two Octos on eggs. One batch of eggs looks li...

TTN: Squid Mating in the Shallows
I went back on Sunday to try to capture more photos of the octo hatchlings. Had fun using my diopter and got a pic or two that I was happy with. Then - I went further north and just hung out in the shallows (15 feet). I encountered a school of op. squids, mating. I had seen a number of egg clusters ...

Went on Saturday afternoon and managed to still see a couple hatchlings emerge from the Octo Den at TTN. This was a first for me - and what a thrill!

Flagpole and Octos with Eggs
Went with Dale to Flagpole today. Viz was pretty cloudy down to at least 40 feet. We saw several wolf eels out in the open. Not sure if there is an oxygen deprivation thing happening - there are more wolf eels appearing at shallower levels. One adult wolf eel was resting in the open in about 30 feet...

Re: TuTuTu 6/30
Thanks yellow eye, for the recap. Appreciate you sharing the story of the dive. Just went to Redondo today (the 4th) with my son-in-law, Karl. We were glad to see that the viz has improved there, as well!

Re: good day so so vis
Definitely enjoyed the awesome sunshine and calm winds/smooth waves on the hood today. Was fun to get pictures of the Albus Dendronotus laying eggs! Also had fun taking different shots with different F-stops of a larger clown nudi. I've included two poses - one, where the Clown is standing up.

Cockerell's Dorids at Elephant Wall
Happy to report that my expert dive buddy, Dale, found three Cockerell's Dorids at Elephant Wall today! We had not seen these little critters since about October of last year. Also - the same large Octo that was out in the open last week was again out this week: and there is another large Octo in a ...
