great pics. Cool rock formations.

Wow, and we thought that some people in Lions Bay were grumpy. At least nobody damaged anyone else's property. I'm noticing a trend where people who feel righteous about "their" property don't like to be seen.

I have cheap windshield wipers so maybe they didn't mean to break it. I bet there are lots of waterfront home-owners that don't know of the public rights-of-way even though they are shown on the zoning maps (every 200 meters leading from the nearest road to the water).

The "sea horses" were creepy what where they attached too?

From a distance, I thought they were big jellyfish floating there, but they're anchored to a sandy bottom between the two main walls. I guess they're buoyant so they just float there. I agree, they're pretty creepy.

come across that on a night dive.....
Anyone know why the horses are there - are they a marker for divers swimming around from Dolphin maybe?
Saw at least one in September 2008 at Tyee (now I can't remember if there was one or two) and funnily enough I too thought at first I was looking at a jellyfish - then when my brain finally worked out what I was looking at it did seem creepy at the time.
Sorry to hear about the wiper - hopefully it was just an accident - but then they should have left an apology along with the territorial claim.
BTW Swankenstein - and more importantly - many thanks for the posts and pictures. I really enjoy seeing the descriptions and pictures on your website. Vancouver Island is one of my all time favorite places to dive but a long way from home (in Australia) so it is great to look at your site and dive updates and be reminded about the dives I have already done in BC and find out about new places. Have just booked flights and am really looking forward to getting back to BC in September 2010 for the sixth time to do some more diving.
