Snowbear:What's this critter? It was free swimming at ~ 18'
and trying to swim out of the shot....
Hard to tell from the pics but possibly the nudibranch Melibe leonina

That is a hooded nudibranch. We had an infestation of them at Edmonds several weeks ago.
"It was one of those days
when it's a minute away from snowing
and there's this electricity in the air,
you can almost hear it.
And this bag was, like, dancing with me.
Like a little kid begging me to play with it.
For fifteen minutes.
And that's the day I knew there was this entire life behind things,
and...this incredibly benevolent force,
that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever.
Video's a poor excuse,
I know.
But it helps me remember... and I need to remember...
Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world I feel like I can't take it,
like my heart's going to cave in."

Sorry, reminds me of the plastic bag scene.
It does look beautiful!

Yes, I think it might be a ziplock
A ziplock nudi. Kewl!
I had seen these before, but didn't have a camera so I could post a pic and ask what it was. Saw several in the shallows on this dive, as well as about a gazillion baby Alabaster nudis
