Thurs Crew 1/22

Post by YellowEye »

Hi Everyone
We had a small but good crew at Redondo yesterday: Gdog, scubajess, mightymouse and myself! Sights to be seen were the regular octo, stubbies, lumpies. We also saw some very cool shrimp, top snails (I'm probably just noticing them now), bay pipefish, crabs with eggs, a sculpin eating a gunnel, baby painted greenling, etc.

Here were some of the captures:
I don't think I've ever seen one like this before!  I think it is a stiletto shrimp color variation.

This shrimp was about an inch long.  I don't think I've noticed these before either!

Have a great weekend!

Great diving!

Here's the lumpy. I love the expression, but I wasn't too happy on the background (notorious sand even with backlight... some bleeding around the edges), so didn't consider it too much of a keeper...

Haha, I'm still on OC and my bright orange Andy's backup drysuit!
This maintenance is taking forever. I'm loving OC again in the meantime.

It was great diving with you guys! Thanks so much for making my first night dive a comfortable one. These pics are great. I look forward to seeing more of the amazing sea life. I'm on the hunt to get dry gloves asap!
