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.
- The Pass
- Glassy plume hydroids are some of my favorites
- Tons of nudies and PMH's in the pass right now
Hope you all had an epic good-tide weekend!

Cool shots! Good to run into you guys at Keystone Saturday. Your picture from the pilings doesn't look like anything we were able to see lol.

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.
