Deception Pass, September 17th dive.
Rough Keyhole Limpet and Sea stars one can find at the Pass. Surprisingly, these days, not many.

You know there are many Stout shrimps living in the marine growth under the floating docks

Lagoon Point, September 20th dive.
The place doesn't have much of fish population, not close to the surface where the visibility is fair.
Less than 2 feet visibility below five feet all the way to the bottom, which is muck...

Langley Harbor, September 23rd dive.
Anemones. Not sure what are the white "veins" inside tentacles of some of the Painted anemones.
Any ideas ?

Langley Harbor dive, September 28 dive.
It was not a dive just to talk to bunch of gunnels.
Sea star wasting continues unabated.
The search for the WHY answers continues.
I did not find Pycnos suitable for the project. The ones I did find were returned to the sea unharmed...

Holmes Harbor October 5th dive.
The Hooded nudibranchs returned. Unlike in the past, this season they congregate on the blades of Sugar wrack kelp instead on Eelgrass. At least at the area I dived. The visibility in the Eelgrass was dismal two feet so I could miss them. Also I came across couple of Burrowing sea cucumbers which I last found here out in the open back in 2013.

Deception Pass October 3rd dive.
Salmon fishermen still dominate the waters of Deception Pass.
Underwater ? Not so crowded.

Holmes Harbor October 5th dive.
Sea Star Wasting survey. One of the few places where I find some Sunflower stars.
But most of them very young, small ones.
