Gotcha, that’s what I suspected. But it looked a lot different than others I’ve seen.

Hello, saw this slender fish at Redondo a few weeks ago. It caught my eye because it looked very similar to a Prickleback in size, but looked very different IMO. It was about 12" in length and we saw it at a depth of 80' +/-. I could only capture the front part of it (I know terrible for ID) sue to ...

Sorry for the delay. Here are a few of my favorites. https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/Recent-Collection-2019-Q4/i-WgFKhcK/0/ac1a428e/M/IMG_1036-M.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/Recent-Collection-2019-Q4/i-CqHTtML/0/2c17a544/M/IMG_1039-M.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/Re...

I know everyone here is worried about my crotch, so here an update. I found my strap in my fin pocket. all good.

Basically doing the “water removal” post processing. Cool deal. The big benefit I see is wide angle. Like manta, shark, whale type shots too. No strobes needed. Which reduces bulk and flashing the animals. For macro, I’d still think you need strobes. I don’t see a benefit for the algorithm there. I ...

I will not be at ThThTh because I will be traveling. Don’t worry about $$. Happy to give it to you. I’ll see if Val will be going Thursday and I can give it to her.

Sorry for the delay. Here is the computer I have, I could not find the transmitter, but I’ll look again today. Let me know the best way to get it to you. Happy to mail it.

P-pants, I think I have a Sunto Vytec wrist computer, even have a transmitter probably needs batteries. I check my scuba locker tomorrow.

Gdog and I went today. Mom is dead in front of the den, new octo has entered the den, babies still hanging on the roof of the den, but no hatchlings. Not sure how the new octo impacts the eggs and hatching.

We originally were going to spend the day at Salt Creek. However, Yelloweye informed us that the viz at SC was very poor. So rather than trek all the way to SC, we decided to hit Sunrise. We also decided to do an extended dive that day to maximize our search for the Mosshead Warbonnet. Saturday, I m...

Usually it is a human to release the conch meat to eat.

What’s interesting Derek is the little hole. That is how the conch is removed. A hole is made at the foot to release the conch meat. It looks pretty small compared to the ones I’ve seen in the tropics though.

Nice shots, the the full octopus series. What lens did you use for these shots?

Does anyone have an Oceanic/Shearwater transmitter that they would be willing to trade for a Suunto transmitter?

About the same encounter as mine. 20-30 amazing seconds for sure.

I was wondering where you were yesterday morning. Well, crap. Great detail on those shots. I've never noticed the little nodules along its back before. Derek- my apologies.
