Re: Another sixgill sighting

The one in BillZ's video is definitely different than the one I saw. Tail in tact and has that gash along the pectoral fin. Certainly more curious.

Ambient light at 200' and 120 year old wrecks better preserved than a lot of the wrecks in Lake Washington. Thanks for sharing.

Bob is great, however I'm not sure Bob is teaching anymore. He'll probably chime in.

I believe Peter has hung up his teaching hat as well.

Hey John,
Talk to Brian and Jeanna, at frogkickdiving.com. I know you guys have done a lot of training with Bob. Having taken classes from both, I have found their teaching styles and philosophies complementary. Small warning... helium is addictive...

Lost light in Cove 2

A buddy of mine lost her light swimming from shore to the boundary line this evening. It's a black DRIS 1000 lumen light with a wrist lanyard. Please PM if you find it.
