Point Hudson's Colorful Critters

Post by Vjw »

Scuba diving in the cold waters of Puget Sound contains many unexpected treasures. Dove a new site for me, Point Hudson, last weekend with many other divers (Stphnmartin, Scuba Jess, YellowEye, Jeff, Kirstin, Nirpam, Derek, Jennifer, and Glenn (sorry don't know everyone's club names :80sdance: .

I was impressed with the color and critters!! It's across from Keystone jetty and bares similarity with orange and pink colored rocks! Here's a few highlights - Cockerell’s dorid, Nudibranch climbing up to eat a Pink Mouth Hydroid, a Decorator crab, and a baby Puget Sound King Crab. There were 5 baby PSK crabs on one rock, scurrying about, but I was on macro lens, and it was impossible to set up a tripod to film them :-). Enjoy!! :joshsmith:
