Letās talk about #sundrock , one of our favorite dive sites where we teach and certify most of our classes.
The name comes from the Sund family who has owned the property for 120 years,
way before it was declared a Marine Preserve.
It is a favorite dive for many in the Hood Canal site.
We are so lucky to have places like this where we can explore nature.

To the moms who raised ocean lovers, fearless explorers, and salty soulsā¦
Happy Motherās Day from all of us,
at YSS Dive ššš
Today we celebrate the women who taught us how to be strong, curious, and brave, whether that meant cheering us on from shore, taking their first plunge with us, or simply supporting our wild love for the underwater world.
Some of our favorite dive buddies are moms. Some of our biggest supporters are moms. And some of the strongest divers we know are moms.
Thank you for the love, the encouragement, and the endless support, both above and below the surface.
Hereās to you today and every day šš¤æ

We dove Titlow today with some friends.
First the goal posts, we dropped and swam to the shelfās looking for octopus š but only found evidence where š¦ had been eaten.
We did see a nice Clown Nudibranch.
The dive finished at the old Marina pylons. The anomies are beautiful and abundant there.
Water temp 51 degree and visibility was 12 ft. Nice dive. #yssdive #plumoseanemone #pnw
