Come along on a scuba dive with Bluefin, Joe & Gord as we explore the depths of Harbour Main in Newfoundland, Canada. We actually completed two scuba dives and had a wonderful time. In this video we see Winter Flounder, Atlantic Rock Crab, Ocean Pout, Common Whelk Eggs, Cunners, Northern Sea Stars and Lions Mane Jellyfish. The visibility was not the best but we had a great day and had two awesome dives. #scuba #scubadiving

Atlantic Rock Crab:
The rock crab is distributed throughout the northwest Atlantic Ocean from southern Labrador to Miami, Florida. It is frequently found in shallow water areas, particularly in bays on sandy or mud bottoms and prefers depths from 0 to 575 m. On Canada's east coast, the rock crab is common in inshore areas of depths ranging from 5 to 20 m.
Winter Flounder:
The winter flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus), also known as the black back, is a right-eyed flatfish of the family Pleuronectidae. It is native to coastal waters of the western north Atlantic coast, from Labrador, Canada to Georgia, United States, although it is less common south of Delaware Bay. It is the most common near-shore (shallow-water) flounder in the waters from Newfoundland down through Massachusetts Bay, reaching a maximum size around 61 cm in length and 2.25 kg in weight. The species grows larger on Georges Bank, where they can reach a length of 70 cm and weight of 3.6 kg.
Ocean Pout:
Scientific Name: Macrozoarces americanus
Description: Elongate eel like body with a broad head, blunt snout and large fleshy lips. Colour ranges from muddy yellow to reddish brown, mottled with grey or olive green.
Distribution: Common along the western Atlantic Ocean coast from the northern waters of Newfoundland down to the coast of Delaware.
Northern Sea Star:
Common name: northern sea star. Scientific name: Asterias amurensis. Locations: shallow waters of the coast, attached to rocks. Seasonality: available all year. Colors: red, brown, purple, green.
Size: 6” - 8”
Sand Dollar:
Sand dollars are flat and burrowing invertebrates included in the class of marine animals known as echinoids, or spiny-skinned creatures. They are commonly referred to as "irregular" sea urchins and share much of their anatomy with their globular cousins. They are also related to similar radially symmetrical animals, like sea lilies, sea cucumbers, and sea stars (aka starfish) — although the latter falls into a different class.
Cunner:
The cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus), also known as the blue perch, bergall, chogset, choggie, conner or sea perch, is a species of wrasse native to the northwestern Atlantic, where it is found from the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Newfoundland to the Chesapeake Bay. They inhabit inshore waters living near the sea floor at depths from 10 to 128 m (33 to 420 ft), preferring areas with beds of seaweed, shipwrecks, or wharf pilings. They spend the winter months in a state of torpor underneath rocks.
Lions Mane Jellyfish:
The lion's mane jellyfish, also known as the giant jellyfish, arctic red jellyfish, or the hair jelly, is one of the largest known species of jellyfish. Its range is confined to cold, boreal waters of the Arctic, northern Atlantic, and northern Pacific Oceans. It is common in the English Channel, Irish Sea, North Sea, and in western Scandinavian waters. The largest recorded specimen was measured off the coast of Massachusetts in 1870 and had a bell with a diameter of 210 centimetres and tentacles around 36.6 m long. Lion's mane jellyfish have been observed below 42°N latitude for some time in the larger bays of the east coast of the United States. Lion’s mane jellyfish are typically a light to deep orange or crimson colour, but can also be yellow, tan, rose, violet or even white. Their body is bell shaped and usually grows 30 to 50 centimetres in diameter, with the largest individuals growing to as much as 2.5 metres in diameter! They also have eight groups of 70 to 150 tentacles. Depending on the size of the individual, these tentacles can range from nine to just over 36 metres in length.
