Dive Campbell River

The range of things you see underwater in a short period of time is amazing. Diving at Copper Cliffs in Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ Passage (Discovery Passage)

Maud Island in Seymour Narrows is a crazy colourful site for anemones!
Yesterday we were able to dive when the current slacks off and changes in Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ Passage (Discovery Passage).

Two different dive sites and almost identical fish pictures! Discarded bottles seem to be the housing of choice for these cute little fish!
Mosshead Warbonnets have such a face with character! First photo from Grouse Island and just two weeks later at April Point Reef I found a near identical photo opportunity.

Brooding Anemones have their babies clustered around their base. Such good mothers. Happy Mother’s Day.

You might think they are flowers but you’d be wrong. Actually an invertebrate, Tube worms can disappear in less than the blink of an eye so to photograph them underwater, you must hold your breath and approach with extreme care and hopefully grab a quick closeup look.
These two Tube Worms were found in Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ Passage (Discovery Passage) at the May Island wreck dive site.

The dive at May Island Wreck is a perfect opportunity to seek out an assortment of sea slugs! Nine different Nudibranchs out of some seventy different ones found in the waters of the Pacific Northwest.

The colours never stop. At Row and Be Damned in Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ Passage (Discovery Passage) the red and yellows are intense and everywhere. Sometime there is a little bit of pink thrown in! 😁
