End of April adventure - shark!

Post by YellowEye »

Howdy Folks!

Several of us had a fun run on Whidbey last weekend.

Friday... Deception Pass. 6 divers total
Saturday... We tried Deception pass (full parking lot), but got blown out and most cancelled**. Most went on to Keystone. Had a fun picnic!
Sunday... Deception Pass (my first time macro there). 20+ divers

** some didn't cancel on Saturday, and the dive didn't go so well, but all are okay. That's a story for another thread...

What a great weekend!

Here were some of the snaps
Jess saw her first dogfish

Keystone pilings... great viz near the surface, 15'.  Others were reporting lousy viz on the jetty.

Beautiful shots, love that dogfish! Those are the most common thing I seem to catch, no matter if I’m chasing salmon or flounders... They never look quite so calm as this guy, for some reason!

Awesome shots Jess. There are sooooooooooooooo many of those Aeolids on Whidbey right now!!!!!!!!! I thought there were a lot at Keystone until last night in Anacortes where there were literally thousands. I like the shrimp riding the jelly too. I've seen that before and always laugh through my reg.
