Ocean Quest 11/22

Post by YellowEye »

Howdy Folks!
HBax, ScubaJess, Doubting Gunnel, DTodd, Dan, Kilii and I went out on the Ocean Quest today. The sites were Sunrise and KVI. This was only my second time on the boat, and I really enjoyed it. The goal of the dives were to find some octos out in the open, based on recent sightings. We didn't have much luck with that, but we had good diving nonetheless! The viz was stellar at both sites. Thanks to hbax for organizing.

Here were some of my snaps!

YE, your WA shots get better and better. Have to give mad props to Jess too. Her modeling skills are great.

Thank you, I'm having fun!

+1 on ScubaJess' modelling skills and patience. She knows just when to swoop in! For that I am grateful!

Great to dive with you all yesterday.
Heres a quick bit of Octo behaviour I caught at the end of the KVI dive.
Inspiration for tomorrow's Thanksgiving aftermath perhaps?
