Lots of ling cod on eggs, copper and black rockfish. By the orange buoy, there are two or three tires 2/3 buried in sand. In t...

Re: ThThTh - 1/21 -- surrounded by no parking signs!

I regret missing the red rock crabs and half-eaten ratfish. Get any pictures of the latter?
Given the parking situation, what's the max number of people you'd recommend for future ThThTh dives at TTN?

Re: ThThTh 1/21

As much as I love diving TTN with ScubaJess and YellowEye, I'm holding off in case I need to bail y'all out of jail. Seriously, though, I'm interested to hear how the parking works out tonight.

Re: Cove 2 Jan 18 - New Gear Checkout Dives

It was a great dive, Dave! Thanks for posting the recap. Here are my photos. The five foot viz did not make it easy.

Anywhere between Mukilteo and Redondo is ok by me. Should be flexible enough on time.

Re: Redondo Pier Jan 3 2016

You can see the effect on anemones in this gallery: https://derekcs.smugmug.com/Underwater/ ... -Park-2015

The gels I used didn't filter the light as strongly. Colors are more subtle.

Re: Redondo Pier Jan 3 2016

Just finished sorting through my pictures. It was a fun dive. Few moon snails out and about. Lot of crabs and lot of gunnels. I'm still playing around with gels on the strobes if you were wondering about the colors. Full gallery: https://derekcs.smugmug.com/Underwater/Seattle-Diving/Redondo-Beach-Pa...

Re: ThThTh 12/17 - With mystery cepholopod hatchling sighting!

Star Wars was good in case you were wondering. Cursing myself for missing the baby squid. I'm guessing squid based on the shape of the mantle. The baby GPOs were definitely more rounded in shape.

Re: ThThTh 12/10

It was a very fun dive. It's been years since I've seen sea spiders, and I don't think I've ever seen a snailfish. Taking a crack at the ID... lobefin snailfish???
