Stage Fort Park

         After my Easy Diver trip last weekend I decided to hop in for a quick swim at Stage Fort Park. There was the typical 3-foot-vis to contend with, but I managed to find some critters nonetheless. Despite the beautiful day on land, I was the only diver in the water.

I hovered carefully above this submerged clam to snap its picture. Typically, as soon as you get close to clams they will dart down further into the sand and will not reappear until you are gone.

Close up of the same character, it's an alien if I've ever seem one.
