Those and a couple of nice heart crabs saved what was otherwise a singularly unspectacular dive.
I agree with Laurel 100%. The more you slow down the more you will see. and once you see these things you will see more and more every time you go out.LCF wrote:When I took Laurel LeFever's Fish ID class, he showed us slides of the Hornmouth orgies. About a year later, I was at Sunrise when I found one, and I was so excited to recognize what it was!
Laurel's stated purpose for his class is to convince the students that there are more things to get excited about in the Sound than Wolf Eels and GPOs, and he succeeds. If you get excited about the little things, there is no dull dive, just as you posted, dwashburn.
Anytime. I'm up here now and for the next week.LCF wrote:Dusty, if you have a place where you're finding that many different nudibranchs, will you take me there? Nudis are my favorite . . .
