Strands #104
“Deep dive”

Hi Strands fans. A fun and straightforward puzzle to kick off your Saturday.
Maybe it's just me, but "Deep dive" immediately made me think of deep sea diving, and that was quickly confirmed when I spotted OCTOPUS curled up in the bottom left-hand corner.
From there, I got a flurry of answers quickly: WHALE and SQUID quickly followed in the top half, which carved out a space for CLAM too.
LOBSTER was next, written backwards along the right-hand side. That cleared a path for the spangram: MARINELIFE, which starts on the left, touches the very bottom and then reaches the middle of the right-hand side.
That left two answers, both separated by the spangram. CORAL was nestled in the middle of the board, while SHARK was buried in the bottom right.
Not the most challenging Strands game, but quite fun!
