Sunday. Walking through the forest instead of diving...

Wow, great point Jan. Your photos really point out what we are missing gradually over the last few years. Stunning, and sad.

Such a sad sign of the ecosystem out of whack.

News break: "Love (or lust?) is in the air in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as the country prepares for Valentine’s Day following decades of the practice of marking the day being forbidden."
So why not in the Ocean Realm?
Happy Valentine Day !

Amazing work just by sticking your head in the water. When you got it, you got it

I'm glad someone else got a picture of the painted anemone eating the crab.

If there is one headline divers like in these days filled with bad news is this one: "THE ONLY SAFE PLACE FROM CORONAVIRUS IS UNDERWATER". Well true or not, Keystone sure became a popular place to escape to this Saturday. On Friday only handful of divers took advantage of favorable weather and currents, Saturday the parking was full. Friday was an interesting one for me. Got in in the fog, found one abalone and in the process of peering into cracks and holes between the jetty rocks, the buckle on my weight belt managed to flip open and fall off which sent me to the surface without means to get down and retrieve it. So that became my mission for Saturday. While multitudes of divers submerged in search for underwater beauty, I went for salvage. Fortunately weight belts don't float away with the current, it took me just few minutes to retrieve it. I placed it on rock out of water and returned now to normal dive routine. Except I didn't bring along my usual camera rig, just a little point& shoot, so missed some shots I could get. Nevertheless, seeing so many spawning Gumboot chitons and getting back my weight belt was reward worthy the dive. Also seeing friends, although only from distance, was also nice.
