Yes, thank you! I have been having this happen and wondered if it was a new glitch or just me/ something I did (i’v been doing the thought bubble transfer trick w/o the time traveling). Seems harmless, but confusing.
Yeah, it's totally harmless. Just a small little glitch.
Do you have a list of the creatures available this month/when to find them?I have now caught everything except for that giant clam. Please let me get it soon so I can focus on other things. That is all I need to complete diving for this month
I posted an infographic here. As for southern, I'm not sure what it is.

Mabel has no problem stopping my construction work app when I enter the dressing room, but I have to take the wetsuit off myself right in front of her before I can change

I haven't yet read through the whole thread, so I don't know if it was already mentioned: balloons now appear once every 10 minutes instead of once every 5 minutes.
Also, instead of appearing every xx:04 or xx:09 minutes, they appear at xx:00
Edit: after trying a few more times, I think I'm wrong about this. Balloons still spawn at the rate they did before the update.

I'll have to look out for this tomorrow. I wonder why the decrease?
On the brighter side, I finally caught all the July Sea Critters! Took me 283 tries to finally get that Giant Clam!
I don't really want to make a thread about this even though it's pretty hilarious BUT, it is also informative.
My friend encountered a game-breaking bug which will literally freeze your character. It has only happened one time, so hopefully this isn't common.
He found an UFO (or in this case a floating sea critter)
And then he tried to dive for it because.. he's a dummy and he froze in the ocean. I got to watch him drown on my screen.
He force-quit the game because last time I tried to end session (he froze in the doorway of my Nook's Cranny) it made it worse. Still was a lose-lose situation because we got a reset. We just lost out on few barnacles though, no one caught the crustaceans at this point.

2 things.
1. It took me 4 scallops today before Pascal showed up. Don't give up!
2. There are differences in the amount of bubbles sea creatures put out in the bubble columns. I got screenshots of three different ones I noticed.
There's a "slow" one where I could get 3 bubbles on the screen at any given time
There's a medium one where I could get 4 bubbles on the screen
And here's one with a lot of bubbles - this was the gigas giant clam. I think I've also seen it on another large shadow size that was either a seaweed or anemone (I didn't catch it lol)
I wonder if maybe it's specific to the species? That could make it a factor to help narrow down what something is without having to catch it, along with the shadow size. I don't think they correlated directly with shadow size, but I need to check again

I think I can officially say today that my love for Animal Crossing surpasses pokemon. This is my first animal crossing game and It is just so much fun... hundreds of hours into the game and still plenty to do and look forward too.
This swimming feature is just fabulous

I feel the same! I never run out of things to do, and there is so much more I can explore and look forward to!

Okay, so after doing some diving, here's a list of bubble columns associated with the creatures that make them! I'll probably update this as I find more creatures.
I also noticed there can be differences in how the bubbles are dispersed (ie whether they all flow up in a mostly straight line or whether they come out in a zigzag shape/appear staggered). In general, the non-moving creatures (barnacles, sea grapes, seaweed, anemones) have straight up-and-down bubble columns - as if them not kicking up sand when you approach wasn't enough of a clue, you can now tell from a distance whether they're worth checking out!
low output:
sea grapes
acorn barnacle (these two have straight columns)
moon jellyfish
mussel
sea pineapple
sea star
whelk
sea urchin
pearl oyster
spotted garden eel
sea slug
mantis shrimp
tiger prawn
medium output:
scallop
octopus
gazami crab
abalone
slate pencil urchin
horseshoe crab
giant isopod
vampire squid
high output:
seaweed
sea anemone (these have straight columns)
gigas giant clam

I've been wondering about this. I think I saw the fast bubbles coming from an anemone. If it's species dependent I think that's a cool addition.2 things.

I've never seen any of the big fast creatures

Thanks for this! Our resident ACNH marine biologist.
Was in April to grab some cherry blossom petals and decided to go for a dive. Chased this shadow around for quite awhile before finally pulling this out of the water!! Definitely neatest discovery so far 
I really don't want to donate it to the museum
it looks so cool when placed!
Time to attempt catching another one before going back to July.

That thing looks like it could attack us. Still cool though.

I don't know if this is new or not but today I had Label's sunglasses in different colours available in Abel's. I've only ever seen purple Label designs before (and from Label herself).
