The view of Shaw’s Cove from the water.
Going through the arch at Shaws Cove.
Evidence of poachers or a group molting.
I have no idea wahat these are – sea macaroni?
I think this is a sculpin?
Hmm? Looks like a bunch of popped zits.
Lots of little arches and interesting reef structure.
A half buried abandoned lobster trap.
We made it ashore right on target after a slight swim against a rip tide; we gave a few autographs to some hot chicks in bikinis – they love SCUBA divers!
We had to debrief with tap water, as drinking in public is illegal.
Stunning video footage to follow soon!
I have not been to shaws in many years, thanks for the nice photos to remind me of the arches. Also a picked over bug site, we do not make bug dives there anymore.
