Salish Sea, BC

From my home on Salt Spring Island, I regularly snorkel in the cold waters of the Salish Sea. Using a camera while snorkelling is quite different and more challenging then when diving. The animals have to be close to the surface or in shallow water on a fairly sunny day. Here is a collection of the various animals I manage to photograph.
