My first dive in the Juan de Fuca Strait, a dive charter with YSS. Unfortunately we missed the seal rock, the sail rock and the huge kelp bed in between. We drifted in mild currents, in what appeared to be a deserted sandy zone filled an occasional large fish eating anemone, white spotted anemone and sand rose anemone. By the end of the 45 min dive, we finally hit structure, a large boulder with urchins, nudis, northern giant kelp, monterray dorids. It was a nicer dive compared to the next 3, with a little drift, nothing too crazy. I saw a few species of snails that I've never seen before. Red urchins on every occasional rock we came across and a few kind of feather duster worms including an all white one that was really photogenic. Saw a huge beautiful cabezon On the boat: We saw porpoises
