San Juans April 22 2017

Post by dlh »

I headed up the San Juans for an outing with Bandito Charters yesterday and had a couple of great dives. We did Bell Island first, followed by Broken Point. Vis was quite a better at Broken Point, maybe 15' vs only 10' at Bell Island. After the first dive the wind really kicked up and we had a long slog back to Anacortes with 38 knot gusts and a few big rollers. Nothing too dramatic but it was not exactly smooth sailing.

Here are some of the pics form the trip:

I think Puget Sound King Crabs are an alien species that's here to observe and study us....

Very nice. Looks like it was a good trip despite the rough surface conditions

Think you've taken your photography up a couple levels! Especially isolating against the water column. Nicely done!
