We'd finished our dive, and were poking along the wall in about 15 feet of water when I found a fluorescent purple anemone. I hung around for a minute or so and spotted a crab no bigger than my fingernail, but I was out of air and film. After a rush trip back to the boat for a new roll and a new tank, we dropped in, hoping we could find the anemone again. He hadn't moved at all.

The situation made for one of the shortest and shallowest dives in my log: 12 min, max depth 21 feet.
