Jan: I love that your posts include some of my favorite dives (Keystone, Deception, Possession) and places I have never dived (Lagoon, Coupeville, Holmes Harbor). You prove even the most uninviting spots provide fascinating critters. And your cartoon of the indecent sapsucker is hilarious. -Curt

Thank you Curt, I learned early that every place on the earth contains a potential for discovery of something new and exiting ...
So I keep on searching. Even in the muck of Lagoon Point canal.
There are areas in the Lagoon Point canal where the visibility turns to almost zero, and white bacterial mat covers the mud bottom. I call it the "Dead zone". I was just skirting that zone when I spotted what looked like a dead shrimp.

Jan: While I continue to delight in photos of the favorites (octos, lumpies, grunts, etc.), you have sure shown us some things not normally photographed. These organisms are probably not uncommon, just not sought out. Good work. - Curt

Ever wondered how fast marine life takes hold on newly installed man-made structure? Inside the Lagoon Point canal, these floats, part of the new dock, were put in place on August 16, 2019. Three months later, they are completely covered with tunicates...
