Great colors. And the lighting on the sculpin photo is really nice. I like how it gets darker as the focus gets softer.

Nice snaps!
Yes there were a couple days with over a dozen divers. Several days with only 3 of us, guess you can't guess who
Attached one of my scenes:

I think one of the days there were close to 20 divers. The other times were around 10 or so. I'm pretty sure every time I was out there a couple of the first timers came out of the water swearing to never come back
Yelloweye, your wide angle shots down there always blow my mind!

These were my first times going in there, the first time surprisingly a very easy dive that did not disappoint with regard to stunning unwrecked cold reef habitat
The latest time we all got in too early on purpose, fought the counter-current eddy just to start the dive, and then hurtled around at various depths until slack eventually occurred. I spent a solid ten minutes holding onto a rock in blasting current at around 20 metres while deciding not to go shooting up some ramp well into the pass.
I would rate this as a tech dive, as the chance for separation is high, self-rescue is probably the only way out alive, and any problems arising would be best dealt with calmly and self-sufficiently on the spot (easier said than done)
Or in the words that a salty old dive guru once told me, "How many dives do you have in that drysuit? I'm not taking you to the Pass!"
