Exploring the Salish Sea

Post by stphnmartin »

I've put together underwater scenes from a little more than the past year diving the Salish Sea. Cold water has its share of beautiful, colorful, underwater creatures and I feel fortunate to visit them in their world every now and then.

Gee wiz WOW!!! Love the way it starts on a night dive at Redondo - catching glimpses of all the tiny colorful creatures moving to the music. Then baby octo eggs and epic huge GPOs out in the open!! So happy to get to share in the adventures! Artistically showcasing the beautiful cold waters here!! :joshsmith: :luv:

Good chance of that!

I should be back in country around the 23rd, and hope to regularly hit some Thursday dives after that!

Unbelievable stuff. This video makes non-divers into divers. Divers into photographers. And photographers into videographers
