) Dive one was to the cloud sponges. I had a first time sight, two Warbonnets posing next to one another for a photo. I spent several minutes snapping photos and ended up with (47) nice shots of these two little critters. The second dive did not disappoint either. Penders spotted a Red Brotula. I have only seen (2) in my 775 dives and never able to photograph one. Penders helped with his light and we spent about 10-15 minutes shooting this shy critter. I got a couple shots. They aren't great, but they ID the little fella and are treasures in my collection. All in all, great diving.Oh yeah, my drysuit leaked, so I cobbled together undergarments for dive two. They were extra thick so I added a couple pounds. Unfortunately, I was about 4 lbs light. At 60 feet I felt super light, I signaled Penders and search for a nearby weight. I found a cement block with a string and quickly attached it to my belt. Worked perfectly, and it was definitely a DIW (Doing it Wrong) moment. Penders captured this with his Wa setup, it was pretty funny.
Here are a few favorites. Click any photo to be taken to the full gallery. Used a couple different filters for the Warbonnet sequence.
And a few friends
Have a nice week.
