We got skunked too!

Post by YellowEye »

Hi
DLH and I went out last night on our rebreathers looking for the six gills at redondo. No luck!

Viz was really crappy at the surface. Not bad down below.

Some of the other highlights below.

Happy Hunting!

Eric, you are getting really handy with that rig. Nice job. I really like the octo camouflaged with the seastar, very cool.

You coming out to play on Thursday?

Hi! Thanks!
I can't join you this Thursday, as I have to be at home replenishing the WAF meter as I'm heading out to the San Juans this weekend. Hopefully next Thursday --looking forward to diving with you again!

Love the octo doing a starfish imitation!

But of course they are all great pics!

We got skunked on the Six Gills, but it was still a really nice night for diving. The vis above 30' was coffee colored murk, but below that layer is was 20+ feet of horizontal vis. Lots of critters out and about. Here are a few video highlights.

Our little Octo pretending to be a Sea Star:

And some spunky Sailfin Sculpin being a lot less shy than usual:

Enjoy,
