Great eye to spot the white shrimp!

Very nice. You're becoming quite the photographer!

Thanks YellowEye. Those are Atlantic Sand Tiger sharks. Not to be confused with a real Tiger shark. I wouldn't be getting that close to a real Tiger shark!

The Jess. Yes, I'm planning to get back into ThThTh's after the holidays! So, I'll be seeing you and the gang soon!

I finally got to putting together the video from wreck diving over the summer off the coast of NC.

That's one of my favorite camping/dive combos. It's a bit of a crap shoot. I choose a weekend based upon current predictions and then hope the weather cooperates. Low northerly winds are best to keep the entry surge free. I also am prepared to not go if the weather/winds aren't optimal. Don't think ...

8/15 Cove 2. 30+ feet. The heavy rains didn't muck it up. Get it while it's good!

While checking the weekend weather I came across this article:

Record-Setting Toxic Algae Bloom Wreaks Havoc in Pacific From Alaska to California

I saw this on my FB feed for Exotic Aquatics: Exotic Aquatics Scuba and Kayaking 5 hrs · Lost at Rockaway. Please please if you picked up a yellow and black diving concepts dry suit return it to Exotic Aquatics. It belongs to one of our clients and he is very sad. He went back to grab it last night ...

I'm a definite maybe this week. Better viz reports will tempt me. :-) Salt Water Park closes at dusk. It might be a little tight time-wise to get that one in.

Now there's a beer dedicated to Sea Stars to raise awareness of the wasting disease. A portion of the proceeds from the sales will go towards research conducted by Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO). http://www.rogue.com/rogue_beer/wasted-sea-star-purple-pale-ale/ ht...

Great shots. I particularly like the octo eye shot. Very great.

Just back from Belize and am not ready for whale snot just yet. Perhaps next week when the 20-30 foot viz reports start rolling in. :-)

I'm out this week but back next go around.

Here's a national geographic article about the disease and how it may be affecting urchins too:

Bachelor rock 3/28. 20 feet. Surge had it pretty stirred up though. Urchins galore!

Planned to dive salt creek but the winds had the waves going. Looks like things are starting to calm down now.

I'm out this week. Heading to Salt Creek on Friday.

Nice pics Gdog. I think I may have gotten footage of the same squat lobster. JPA or John-Paul is my dive buddy. Here are a few screen grabs from the video.

We're parked on the street on the south side of cove 2. Marination parking looks full.

Okay, I hit the gym three days in a row and am exhausted, so diving it is. I talked JPA into going as well. What time are we gathering?

What time are you thinking? I'll decide later today if I want to dive or go to the gym. :-)

I'm out this week.

Here are my contributions from last night's dives. These are grabs from the video. I like the nudi photo bomb.

I'm in. Think this may close out winter night dives at Redondo as it will be staying light much longer. Hope they have the music turned down at Bill McHales!

On Sunday my dive buddy and I did a three tank charter with PacAdventure on hood canal. Turned out to be a beautiful day both above and below the water. Don even allowed me to fly the drone from the boat. I hadn't flown it in a while and was pretty rusty confusing the sticks on the controller a few ...
