Les Escoumins - a diverse marine ecosystem where critters bloom. ⠀
⠀
⁣During our series of shore dives in this location at the beginning of summer, Joey and I were thrilled to see SO MUCH LIFE in such a small space. The anemones, sea cucumbers and sponges brought a palette of colours to the very green tones in the water. They also created pockets of habitat for crabs, nudibranchs, urchins, sea stars, lumpsuckers and other gumball sized things.⠀

⠀
With Joey's family living on Canada's east coast, I can definitely see us making more stops at this rockin' dive destination when we visit. Who wouldn't want to spend more time in this bopping ecosystem! ⠀

#throwbackthursday Every now and again, you get to

#throwbackthursday Every now and again, you get to experience something that is not only amazing but also life-changing. For us, this happened in Scotland where the water is not only cold but MIGHTY beneath the surface! 🥶🦈🦈⠀

During our stay in the Scottish highlands, Joey and I joined a research expedition with Basking Shark Scotland. During this citizen science project, we got to go snorkeling with the second largest fish in the world - a fact that is quite easily forgotten until you are sitting smack dab in front of one of their gaping sieve-like mouths.⠀

For me and the wee spiny lumpsuckers of Les Escoumins, it was love at first splash. During our recent Québec diving adventures Joey and I had a blast hunting out purple ones, white ones, red ones, yellow ones… I never knew they could come in so many fun-filled colours.⠀
⠀
Every dive with these little friends, I would marvel at how so many of their pudgy bodies could be found flocking the sea bed of the Saint Lawrence estuary. ⠀

Loving this electric blue wolf eel nestled all snug in his den during our dives in Les Escoumins. I wonder if he's dreaming about his next urchin feast? ⠀

Joey floating in the liquid blue next to the Alice

Joey floating in the liquid blue next to the Alice G.⠀
⠀
This shipwreck was such a fun, SHALLOW wreck that can be dived from the Tugs shore site in Tobermory.⠀
⠀
⁣♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡⠀
⠀
⁣The Alice G is the most intact of the 4-tug wreckages. Built in 1902 at 20 some meters (65 feet) in length, the Alice G is a wooden-hulled steam screw tug. In 1929, the ship was forced out of Little Tub harbour by gale-force winds. Before the engine was ignited the tugboat rammed against the rocky shoreline outside the harbour. ⠀
