Sund Rock 9/17

[stphnmartin]

Scubie, Gdog, ScubaJess and I ventured out to Sund Rock in the pouring rain early Saturday. Viz was okay and it was a dark dive due to a red muck layer. Lotsa wolf eels and squat lobsters were the main critters spotted. Here are a few grabs from the video.

Great shots, great color Stephen! Looking forward to the video. Here are a few of my better shots. Nothing EPIC, lol, but not bad.

I think this guy needs to see a dentist...needs a good cleaning

Jesse probaby has a better shot of this of course, but does anyone know what nudi this is?

This shot is for Scubajess!

Jesse had this guy out and was stroking his belly....then he swam with us for a bit

A couple nudi shots...

The top 25' red muck was crappy, but we still had a couple great dives

Great pics everyone. Had a blast. This was a great photography dive. Lots of cool critters/behavior.

Let's start with a Ribbon Worm crawling inside a tube worm. This was the first time I had seen this.


Next I came across an odd "string" in a tube-dwelling anemone. At closer look it was a snail :-) Not sure if it was feeding.








A cool egg purse. I've seen the skates, but this one looked different. Anyone know what it is?


Found a random egg pack. Looks like it is from a GPO. I can see their eyes in there.






Baby squat chilling on stubby squid eggs.


Noticed a "wasting" sea cucumber. I wonder if the star wasting disease hit them too.


Now for the parade of the normal Sund Rock critters...






























Have a safe week everyone :-) Peace

Great stuff all. Jesse I think you had the best dives of the 4 of us! Great eye and captures on the snail and anemone and eggs. I need to figure out a way to hook my video camera up to your slr!

Sounds like a great day guys! Very cool snaps!
I got the following jelly at a recent dive, looks somewhat like Jesse's. Somebody id'd it as a Polyorchis
