| Squid Eggs Each one of these egg capsules are about 3 inches long and contain hundreds of baby squid. This represents the overnight work of hundreds of squid |
| Copper Rockfish This guy joined us at about 40 feet at Sund Rock. He actually led us to a Giant Pacific Octopus at 80 feet. He stayed with us for the whole dive and then joined us again on our second dive. |
| Big Crab Big crabs are everywhere in Puget Sound. |
| Decorator Crab Decorator crabs pick little bits of algae and stick them to themselves. They blend in with the environment and are very hard to see |
Puget Sound Scuba Pictures
| Ling Cod This guy was about three feet long and was hanging out on the bow of a ship in the Edmonds Underwater Park. I didn't know it but he was guarding a nest of eggs |
| Angry Ling Cod I decided to get a second picture. He decided to try to drive my camera out the back of my head. He also came back and bit me. |
| Plumose Anemone These are about two feet tall and come it white and red. They are an animal, not a plant |
| Star Fish Porn? I'm not positive, but I think I know what these two are doing. |
| Baby Giant Pacific Octopus This youngster was about two feet long. They easily grow to 10 to 15 feet. We found him in the open at Redondo. |
| Bondage Barbie I found this near the octogon at Redondo. It's just proof that scuba divers are a sick bunch! |
| Giant Pacific Octopus This was the GPO that our friendly rockfish wanted us to see. He's in a small cave with some tentacles showing. I would estimate him at about six or eight feet, so it's a medium sized octopus. |
| Moon Jellyfish These Jelly's don't sting (much) and have short tentacles. They are pretty to see swimming through the water column. They are about six inches in diameter. |
| Sea Whips These are actually animals. They are about six feet long and live below 100 feet. The just eat whatever small creatures drift by. In Hood Canal, they are plentiful because of the high concentration of food. |
| Wolf Eel These grow to about eight feet in length. They can bite so you want to be careful. We have, however, held some that have become friendly with divers. You just want to stay away from that mouth. |
