I've had that yellow before there. Did it change hues at slack?

No, it was yellow the entire time. I'm planning to go again tomorrow and will post a report.

Deception Pass

By Jan Kocian

Visibility: A silty 5-10 feet (high tide)

Like reported yesterday, visibility was not good at the pass today neither. Plus the overcast above did not help. One Lingcod, one Red Irish Lord, few Kelp greenlings. Red rock crabs paired for mating, lots of Three-lined aeolids. At least the westerly wind did not arrive while I was at the Pass. And of course, the sun started to show up after I was leaving the park. While I was getting air at Anacortes Diving, I learned that the is dive shop where you can get air fills! I did not know that. FYI: Yacht Haven Dive Center, 423 Shorett Dr. Relatively close to Roche Harbor.

Dive report for 5/10/26

Deception Pass

By Justin Warner

Visibility: 15 feet

Fairly clear and mostly sunny. Starting to think about naming the proliferating anemone clumps and finger sponges after 3 days in a row. Two grunt sculpins. Clump of strawberry anemones at 61ft under the bridge I haven’t seen in the last 15 dives or so here, glad they are still around. Not a fan of all the fishing line that wasn’t present 4 weeks ago.
