So far this year, we've had an amazing variety of Jellyfish and Salps in the bay. Safety stops have been great fun, chasing around tiny, mostly transparent creatures and trying to focus on something akin to a piece of saran wrap under water. We've also had some bigger versions of some we've only seen in their smaller form. Here is a collection, many of which include hitchhiking crabs and isopods.
