Wonderful news!

Great video and nice looking eggs!

Is this on one of the boats? Kind of looks like the bottom of the cruiser...

Tom. WOW. You figured out the location from that video. The video was shot at the bow of the boat that is north of the entry point.

Ha ha! After 300 + dives there I SHOULD recognize that thing!

And there aren't really many other options for a good, protected GPO den at TTN than under one of the boats. I would have guessed the cabin cruiser, and I've seen GPO's at both boats, but anywhere they can dig in and have 3 sides protected it would be good.

I've never seen a den in a tire pile, though I've seen plenty of GPO's in them.

Seems like there is a cement block on the way back from the cabin cruiser that often serves as a den. Usually around 30-40 fsw I think.

We saw this GPO last week and it is under the downslope end of the golf ball boat. There's a second GPO under the other end.
John Hall & I saw a GPO on eggs in one of the deeper tire piles straight out from the entry a year or two ago. Also saw 4 Decorated Warbonnets in close proximity to each other and to that GPO. It was a very cool dive.
