Ball Point Sponges

Yesterday Wayne and I went and dove a couple of the Ball Point sites we take charters to.
The sponges start at about 60 feet and 
we have seen them at a couple hundred on these sites.
The vis yesterday after all the recent rain was about 50 feet , water temp avg 46f.
The sponges are a wonder to behold. Individual,  slow growing, fragile and easily damaged.
 Heres a selection of photos from yesterday.
