Sund Rock Low O2 Mon Sept 27th
While some of this may appear normal to non-Pacific NW divers, it is most certainly NOT normal. Fish are out of their usual depth ranges (usually found deeper) and all clustered within 15 feet of the surface of the water. They are up so high in the water column because this is the only area that contains oxygen. There are also freakishly huge schools - we don't usually see that many at once. Fish that normally hide were found out in the open, lethargic and "panting". See comments under each photo or video for details. Each video clip is about one minute or less.

Four wolfeel, all "panting" for breath - out in the open, in about 12 feet of water. Normally they hide under rocks and in caves, and are found about 40 feet or deeper, and you'd only see their heads peeking out at you under a rock. To see one in the open, acting so lethargically, is highly abnormal.
