Iron Mines macro's

Went out yesterday on a sunny crisp day for a great couple dives at the Iron Mines site. Diligent One came alongside and Andi, Ben, Gary,Bill, Susie, Helen and Anjie all hung out or dove. there were a couple stellar Sea lions hanging around on the second dive along with the largest ever puget sound king crab we have seen. Ben may have got some good video of the sea lions while Bill had his face to the wall with the macro lens. Looks like the eyes have it on this day. Vis was great at 100ft plus.
I hope 2011 is a great year for everybody diving. Please feel free to post a comment when you are here.
Hope you like the photo's!
