Met up with EJ for a dive at Fox Island Bridge last Sunday. It was a beautiful day, and the small parking area was full of kayakers and jet ski trailers. After a little delay finding a spot to park, we geared up and surface swam to the fourth bridge support from the island before dropping in.
Vis around 10-12'. Not bad, considering our max depth of 28fsw - I was concerned that we wouldn't be able to get below the...crapocline, wasn't it? The current had already turned, and we didn't venture much further north, just combed the bottom and pilings while heading south back towards our exit.
This site is great for macro photography, especially for finding nudibranchs. It's not uncommon to see varieties that are not normally found elsewhere in the south sound. I lost count during the dive, but I came home with pics of 10 different species this time. I had to do a bit of research trying to ID a few of these (feel free to let me know if corrections are needed).
Some shots I managed:

Great shots! Wish I could have made it. My favorite is the first pink mouth hydroid shot.
