A panoramic view of Canoe Beach. The top of the Chimneys are sticking out of the water (slightly past low tide). Egg rock is in the distance.


Anne is keeping an eye on the arsenal.


Atos, Portos, Aramis and D'Artagnan


Gettin' ready.


Nate's well equipped for the dive.


Robert is demonstrating one entry technique.


John's a happy diver.


Anne's putting her fins on.


And off they go.


The view from 40 Steps (Canoe Beach is past the rock wall)


The base station at 40 Steps.


The obligatory moon shot requested by Ian.

Squid


Your basic star-and-urchins shot (oh well).


A monsterous (yet tame) flounder. I overlayed the palm print to give you a rough idea of his size.


A cocky bloody-red sea raven.


A shy rock gunnel.


A curious fish.


One of the skates we encountered.


Eww. A group of lobsters feasting on the remains of a large fish (estimated about 130 cm length)


Could have been a nice shot did the camera's auto-focus decide to keep the focus on the squid.
