Hmmm...there's gotta be some? On the Sea Tiger maybe? LOL - now I'll have to come back so we can do a "sponge hunt"!

Here's another to keep you going...

What a bunch of colorful sponges.

We don't have alot of large sponges on the US west coast, unless you get into deeper water where you can find huge cloud sponges, but I don't have any pics. Anyway just to contribute something here's a gray puffball sponge. It's about the size of a softball and is quite common of the Oregon coast.

Something like this perhaps

(Blame this on a lack of sleep, a busy day and not being able to dive for the last few weeks )
