Octopus and new life on the hood

Post by deep diver »

Todays dives at flagpole we encountered several octopus, one sitting on some real nice eggs, maybe ready to hatch soon. Hopefully I will make it back before they hatch. If you blow up the pictures they are already turning red.

Still lots of wolf eels of all sizes. Nothing seems to be struggling to breath after the "glacier color water" we had.

Just a few nudibranchs, nothing spectacular but will keep looking.

We did find a red brotula fish but as they are so shy.... no pictures for you... I know, no pictures, didn't happen... but it did!

And a cute little gunnel and a few rat fish

Water visibility was... first 6' looked great, then a blur until we reached 30' and it opened up to a very nice dive-able vis. Did a couple dives today and it was all good.
