Tridacna Inlet Siphon, Mary Island.   Mary Island used to be a magical place.  You could go out to the point and find huge schools of barracudas and jacks, or you could poke around in the bay and see no end of little things.  The point is still great, but the bay was trashed by a series of storms in '97, and there's not much left.  This little clam saved a really dull dive.  I hope the bay comes back, but it's going to take a while.
