Photo Friday - Tour Guest Edition! This particular series was taken at our last Junkyard tour on Alki beach, by our regular Michael Renner. Featuring a great shot of a spider crab in an anemone, hooded nudibranch in the eel grass, a diamond back tritonia and finally a cluster of nudibranch eggs!

Our lovely friends Tom and Gail have shared some sunshine and warm from their trip to Bonaire. Though we don't have our next group trip there until 2026, we hope that the fish sculpture is still there!

Have you heard of the tope shark? They’re critically endangered, yet still have no legal protections in the US. Topes are so heavily targeted that fishermen call them “soupfins”. I found this aggregation of mother topes coming together to give birth on the California coast. #SaveTheTopeSharks 🌎🦑🧪

Just making sure that everyone is aware of this crab that NOAA scientists found

We'd like to take a moment to thank the Saturday night breakers of windows. You really encouraged us to do a deep post-holiday store vacuuming and cleaning. Today, we'll be a bit slower on the phone and email as we get some new wood grain windows. But come on by, we are open!! #westseattle

Today, we had the opportunity to do a different kind of dive. Thanks to the coordination of Drew, Dive Tour Guide Dr. Bird and the whole hyberbaric medicine team we were able to learn so much. We thank them for the opportunity. p.s. Drew is still wearing his headset!
