Location: Keystone Jetty, Coupeville, WA
Dive: 236, 237 & 238

Beamed down to beautiful Keystone for 3 fantastic away missions with my awesome dive buddy YellowEye! We made contact with some amazing life forms below the Salish Sea. All the usual suspects were there, hermit crabs, Mega Ling Cods on eggs , tiny adorable shy War Bonnets , way too many green urchins, a variety of Sea Stars which was very nice to see, a top snail convention was in town along with some of their Cockerel Dorid friends. We swam among a school of Rock Fish and Perch up above the Plumose Anemones who cover the pretty, colorful rocks below. The super cute Sculpins were out and about being their friendly, curious selves. Also we saw some neat huge furry heart crabs, Whelk eggs, and a Gobi. It was fantastic, super calm below the waves.

Here are some of my recordings from the spectacular pink adventure. I hope you enjoy. I cannot wait to go back to one of my favorite places on this planet Earth!

P.S. You should all stop by Pickles Deli on your way too and from the dive spot! It's sooooooooooooo AMAZINGLY Delicious!

Oh, and yeah, Pickles Deli ftw!

Beautiful shots. It's like Keystone is a magical place. I need to get there more often! Thanks for sharing. Love the warbonnet, top snails and dorid.

Ahoy Matey

It was fun! We spied 6 cockerell's dorid's on these dives, and 5 mosshead warbonnets. There's one rock there, the one connecting to the line, in which you almost always find cockerell's dorids and mosshead warbonnets. We saw two of each there, if you're looking!

Ooh, Keystone is so lovely! Fantastic shots!

Hey YellowEye that topsnail gathering picture is beautiful! Also nice work on the nudi!

Ooh and that super tiny baby Seastars just melts my heart!

Wow. I have got to get up there and do that dive. Nice shots guys!

Yes, great pics. Love that dive.
