This year the waters of the Browning Passage once again served up a fine selection of colours and critters. We had great weather the first few days with sunshine, cloudless skies, and record high temperatures. Warbonnets were plentiful. Both decorated and mosshead. Grunt sculpins, candy stripe shrimp, puget sound king crabs, cabezon, wolf eels and 14 species of nudibranchs were among the cooperative subjects we encountered.
The waters were warm this year ... 50 to 51 degF. Mighty toasty. 
My new undergarment and drygloves made the experience almost tropical. 
It was so warm that I spent one afternoon suntanning on the top deck of the Mamro.
There were numerous jellies again this year. Although I did not see one with an award winning crab on it. But I did see many sea angels flitting around near the surface as I waited to get picked up by the boat.
I came across a huge puget sound king crab with a spotless shell. With my 60 mm lens I did not think there was much chance of a shot. Until I saw this nudi crawling across the crab's shell.
There were large numbers of warbonnets this year. This little mosshead was playing peek-a-boo from a hole in a sponge.
One dive on the wreck of the Themis did not yield a wolf eel, likely because I went the wrong way and never found the wreck. But we did see a large Cabezon. Again, with the 60 mm. 
The first two days we did some diving around Comox with Pacific Pro Dive. This crab was nice enough to pose on some purple seastars.
