Dive 33 · Kelp Forest

Sea lion and a ring of bubbles

Filling the tank…

In the frame

A young sea lion twists head-down through the water, trailing a loop of silver bubbles. Sunbeams fall from the surface at the top, and a band of kelp grows along the bottom.

This dive cuts the picture into 24 pieces on a 6 × 4 grid: 16 border pieces and 8 inner pieces. The cut is fixed, so every player gets exactly the same pieces.

Dive plan

  1. Start with the easy part: the sea lion and its ring of bubbles.
  2. Save for last: the blue water above the kelp. About 38% of the frame has little detail, mostly on the left side, and those pieces look alike.
  3. Switch on Edges to keep only the 16 border pieces on the table, and build the frame first.
  4. Press Sort to tidy the loose pieces into rows around the board, border pieces nearest — handy once the frame is done.
  5. In the plain areas, match pieces by shape: on a 6 × 4 grid every inner piece has a tab or a blank on each of its four sides.
  6. At this size most pieces show something recognisable — a good dive for a few relaxed minutes.

How deep it goes

Depth 2 of 5 — an easy dive.

Snorkel dives are the shallow end of the logbook: small boards with pieces big enough to read at a glance.
