Motivation to get in the water has never been a problem for me, and the only thing that usually stops me is bad weather, namely wind and snow. Unfortunately both of these conditions have been quite common over the last little while around Southern Vancouver Island. Now that the snow had disappeared, it was time to get back in the water. Chris and I headed to Ogden Point to find some Diamondback Nudibranchs, as we had seen them on the Stubby Squid dive last month but didn’t get any images due to the fact that I was too busy photographing the squid. This time however, we not only found the Diamondback Nudibranchs, but we also found several other species, and a number of juvenile Grunt Sculpin. We ended up counting eleven of these cute little creatures on the dive. These oddities of the ocean resemble a misshapen seahorse and walk around on their pectoral fins. Grunt Sculpin’s colouration and camouflage make them excellent photographic subjects and I was exstatic to see so many on one dive.
