Octopus City

Been away from posting for awhile now.
I did get out for a few splashes before , uring and after the holidays. I had the pleasure of meeting and diving with Jackie Hildering  (aka the Marine detective).
i was just out the other day with my friend Pat who is recently certified and  just getting into diving.
its great to see people keen to dive dive dive..
I sometimes post photos on my own Facebook page of Gradient dive or the Powell River Dive clubs Facebook page.
also about to take some rebreather training soon and getting excited about it.
Heres a few photos  of Pat, some plumose anemones on a rope and a few of some hooded Nudibranchs i saw the other day.
In spite the name of the spot I did not see any octos but saw some signs.
