Howdy Folks
I went diving at alki junkyard yesterday, low tide. The sea pens there were in numbers greater than I've ever seen there, and quite large too. They got quite thick at 60'. So if you want to go see some nice seapens, go check it out! There were lots of striped nudis, their predator, as well. I have no new pics of the seapens as I was on macro.

Hi Calvin
I looked a few times, didn't see any critters. Sometimes you can see eggs inside seapens, didn't see any of those either.

I did however find a mermaid's purse on the dive. A huge one, my first ever!!!

I had to look up mermaid's purse, then realized I've come across them before. So cool you found one there, it's been a long time since I've seen one.
