I did. And took a few shots of it...never even noticed Mr. Scalyhead.

Also found these on the same engine block (just below and to the right of Mr. Scalyhead). Not sure what they are, but they looked cool.

Nice day, good dives, great buddies. Throw in a clam orgy and baby lumpies - what's not to like? :partydance:

Funny how that works, once you fix your objective on one critter suddenly you just go blind to everything else. Sooo many times I get home and see something that I really would have liked to get some good pix of and never even was aware of when I was in the water. :angry:

This is SOO true... I'm starting to think about mask shopping again, but what you are describing is a brain thing, not a vision thing.

The good thing is that the more you experience "missing" something and then finding it later, the better you get at recognizing them in the future. One can hope, anyway! :angelblue:

You, my friend, are someone I could get along with.

Nice shot of the squid by the way. The lighting is perfect!! The eyes are open! I can't even usually find a squid to take a photo of...what are these other guys talking about, it looks like there was lots of stuff to see!!

The amount of stuff to see depends on your ability to see it in the first place. I have had a couple of people tell me they did Hudson and didn't see much????? If your dive is spent cruising along 10 feet off the bottom running a compass course to this or that chances are you won't see much. I know one lady that can do Hudson and actually see more than I do. :angry: Young whippersnapper! She is a joy to dive with but not if you want to get somewhere. :supz:

Thought I would post it here to...

Found a wrist mount computer on Thursday at TTN @ about 25 feet. Sorry for the delayed post, I got busy during Easter weekend :-) Please PM me with the description and I will make sure it is returned to it's rightful owner.
