In Hood Canal, might this be a Northern Ronquil?

Reef survey submitted this evening.

My brother, sister in law and I were diving The Cove Thursday. At the 70 foot blocks, Peggy saw a different looking fish and with dive light, got my attention. Moved in closer and started taking a few pictures and video clips of the 3-4 incher. Sure looks like a China rockfish, but everyone we talke...

My brother and I enjoyed a couple days of diving Hood Canal waters, The Cove (in front of the Yellow House) and both north and south walls of Sund Rock, April 16 & 17. Very ugly viz layer on the 16th from 13 to 30 feet, less than 1 foot, but 15+ hazy feet below that. The next day, 17th, no layer...

Enjoying some diving time in Kona,
But went snorkeling today and saw this tang.
Wondering if it is an albino, unique coloration or 'sick'?
Appeared to be moving about and feeding normal.

Thanks.

Warm water sounds fantastic right now.
Did you try the Hawainn avocadoes?

For their size, they have to be on steroids!

Enjoyed a couple dives along Kona coastline. Waters, high winds and surf finally calmed down enough to allow boat diving in mornings. Usual marine life, some white tip sharks, octopus, no photos Papa Z f6_resized.jpg f5_resized.jpg f4_resized.jpg f3_resized.jpg f2_resized.jpg f1_resized.jpg f tangs_...

Enjoyed the special showing of 'Wonders of the Sea 3d" tonight.

Excellent 3D of marine life from Fiji, California, Sea of Cortez and Bahamas.

If available again, worth seeing once.

Would appreciate ID of this. Gunnel?

Also known as White Ring Ribbon Worm
Scientific name of: Tubulanua albocinctus

Some video clips.....

We saw this at Sund Rock, north wall, 70 foot down.

About 4 feet long.

Appreciate ID.

Today,
Glad to see the show back at the Tacoma Convention Center.

The Yakima Dive Club enjoyed the viz in Hood Canal this last weekend. Even though topside weather was quite wet with rain, we thought the 20-30 foot viz was quite good underwater. A great group of thirteen occupied 'The Yellow House' in Hoodsport for the weekend. Great time by all. Here are a couple...

I find it interesting that with 10 'arms', they manage to only have one at a time in their mouth.

Video is about 1 minute.

When I eat, seems like I can find ways to get both hands/fingers into my mouth and numerous times have managed to put my foot in my mouth due to what I said.

Here is a multimedia from last weekend diving in "The Hood"

Enjoy,
