6 gill sighting Hood Canal/Glen Ayr Wall.

Post by Jeff Pack »

Around 6pm @154ft

8-10ft, swam within 2ft of my dive buddy Jeff Gerritsen, the whole event took about 15s, and it moved on.

Sadly, our first dive we had a camera, but not the second dive :(
=============================================

- I got a good squirt in my mouth
- I would imagine that there would be a large amount of involuntary gagging
- I don't know about you but I'm not into swallowing it

I did report it to the Seattle aquarium folks. Jeff called me back and filled in the details.

Lots of people dive almost a lifetime and never see them!
