Cloud Sponges

Post by H20doctor »

diving or trying to find cloud sponges here in Puget sound is a rare thing ... the only place i have seen them is Sund rock... But if you cross over the border into canada and shore dive just North of Vancouver... you will be treated with a Very NIce Dive of Sponge Heaven... The deeper you go the bigger they get ...

- I got a good squirt in my mouth
- I would imagine that there would be a large amount of involuntary gagging
- I don't know about you but I'm not into swallowing it

Nice work Chris. And you walked down the crack! Brave man! Old guy like me would fall and break a hip. There are a lot of cloud sponges there, some not even that deep. Very cool.
