Barnacles

Post by YellowEye »

Stephen, jpa, scubajess and I went diving in the San Juans today. Boy there were a lot of barnacles on the reefs today :eek: . I noticed broken point was bad last year, but now it seems more wide spread. This was bell island and cable crossing. Three tree, Redondo, norranders are also much worse than years past, but it is especially sad out in the San Juans! Any other similar observations? What about further out?

Thanks Laura!

More of the same today. Strawberry Island was okay below 60. But between 30-60 it was quite bad. Broken Point was terrible. This was one of my favorite places for nudis just a couple years ago.
