Nice job on that second Lumpie Jeff.

You missed getting a pic of the most beautiful thing in the water though.

Here are a few of my least crappy pics from tonight....
The highlight of my night was when we dropped in to about 10' of water on the south side and I was immediately bombarded by a large number of squid. I could actually feel them bouncing off of my shoulders and my head.
Very cool.....

He's become pretty enamored with himself since he attached the dome port to his housing......... :nutty:

Okay this is my third try at posting some pics of this Dive!

My first successful lumpy pictures! :taco:


Pogiguy found at least ten of them and I took about 50 pictures and got at least two really good pictures! :supz:


sometimes, I don't have the patience for macro photography. :angry:

"Thanks guys, for showing me a new part of Redondo!"

Nice Keith! It took me two years to finally get a lumpie photo as good as yours.

Now you just need to stop touching the fish. :tappingfoot: Think about the poor fish when he got home that night.

Here's a few I was able to get.

First dive to the carousel boat:

Junior

While checking out the h u g e GPO under the boat while everyone else was playing with Junior - a flurry of action erupted off to my right. A Buffalo Sculpin looked like he was trying to cough up a lung (gill?):

A closer look:

He ends up coughing out a shaggy mouse - and rests for a moment, trying to recover:

Not sure the shaggy survived the star, however:

More dive buddies showed up in time for the second dive. Instead of searching for lumpies, we ended up heading out toward no-man's land, west of the reflector piles.
Snailfish

Stubby Squid - this guy was the size of a pea.

And then I found my first Skate!

Being all excited about the finding the skate, I racked up with a few minutes in the penalty box. I spent the time playing with my G10, trying all sorts of differnent settings - seeing what worked and what didn't. Ended up getting a couple decent shots.
Decorator Crab. One of the few shots I have of these that don't look like a pile of blurry snot.
