Well I'll be darned. I never expected a BABY wolf eel. I had forgotten how pretty they are when they're little. (Not that they're ugly later; it's just more of an acquired taste.)

Pearl one, knit two......

I don't think it's a perch, so is it a Copper Rockfish?

(And if it isn't, I'm going to give up eye-guessing and take up knitting.)

Unfortunately, RSDancey is landlocked in Las Vegas until the 1st or so and won't be joining us.

He says Lake Mead is a bust for diving, btw, so Padigal is better off drinking when she's there for the wedding.

I'm just flailing now. My last guess is a lingcod.

Diver C and I are in! Where and when?

Is #26 a Scalyhead sculpin?

He looks unhappy that he was caught. Maybe you got a part of his....sole with your camera.

Rats. I was going to guess Painted Greenling, but I think Janna's right.

John:

Is that......your Quillback Rockfish?

More, more, more!

Calvin says: "I can't say I've never fed an eel. " Does that mean you've fed at least one? :) In volunteering for the aquarium, divers feed the wolf fish daily. I'd like to think the difference is we have had some special training ("Grab the squid between your fingers and hold your ha...

I just gave up. My 16 year old sent/received so many (an embarrassing number to and from me) that I just got the unlimited service. If she has friends in a long distance area, it's less expensive. Also, and this is a reach, hopfully her typing skills are improving. Rationalization, I know, but I'd r...

Man! Knives, lights.... If I lose something underwater, I know who I'm gonna call!

I know it's hard to see, but what the heck is this little "dalmation" colored invertebrate? http://www.flickr.com/photos/diver_c/380999354/in/set-72157594519833110/ Diver C took this at around 65fsw and it was in an indented area of sand, shells and gravel at Maury Island Barges. Any ideas...

Hey! Good to see you! Nice pic.

Best of both worlds = Diving with Hubby, DiverC, and GillyWeed and Blacktoe for their 100th on Banditos in the morning, and calling the Colts beating the spread in the afternoon. I think there was a nap, pizza and family in there somewhere making it just...about...the...perfect...day. And I loved Pr...

Ahhhh....... The viz is clearing up nicely. Gracias.

I was looking for it, and it wasn't there. Either it was on vacation or I'm narc'ed on the surface. Calvin, were you hiding it somewhere?

Hi!

I have three divers interested in your Banditos boat trip on Sunday. You can write me at delaina@isomedia.com and we can coordinate if there is still room.

Sweet--boat dives rock!

Good pictures, Rich! I see you didn't get the dead hermit crab that was housing a shrimp in his rear section. (Holds right hand out, palm up and sticks all five fingers straight up.) That visual was brought to you by Sounder. Thank him. Nice time Tom Nic, Bassman, Sounder and Diver C. I'd be very ha...

I'm with Valerie but, in my head, I'm not nearly as diplomatic or nice about it. Poor planning and flawed execution killed those divers. A friend of mine said the problem was the divers weren't scared enough. I told him I didn't like the word scared because it implied an irrational impediment that c...

Can a girl come and play?

I have an aluminum 80, but I'll move slowly and take small sips.

Is there some third category? I don't know if there is a way to describe the lightswitch effect that happened after about 150 dives (I really don't count anymore. How many times have you run 5 miles, eaten at El Gaucho's or picked wildflowers?) When I first got in, it was beautiful and awe inspiring...

The drinks I could see. The stogies will be a challenge.

Doug, you and Erica are wonderful. Thank you so much for your offer. I'm done with my little pity party and can now appreciate how well off we had it. No big property damage and no-one was hurt. I had to toss everything in the fridge out and live in a cold house, but that was easy compared to what a...
