Northwest Dive Club

Took another trip to Blakely Rock with JPA, Gdog and Scubie. It was sunny and super warm with okay viz and stronger than expected currents. Perhaps 15 feet of viz with lots of particulate. There were lots of egg laying nudis around and a very large, cooperative war bonnet. Many pregnant rock fish were hanging out as well. I finally finished the job of losing my dive computer I started on the last trip.

Here are a few grabs from the video:

Thanks for taking us! Can't wait to see the video!

Thank you so much for accommodating us. JPA is the bomb!!!

Here are a few of my favorites, I still have 100+ pics to sort through :-) but these caught my eye.



















This isn't the best pic, a bit noisy. It was a tiny tiny nudibranch. I didn't even know what it was when I first saw it. I tried to clean it up a little to get an ID.


Have a great week everyone. Be safe out there. Peace!

Holy those are amazing photos scubie! Wow, really well done with the mirror. I mean damn!

Thanks. Takes a ton of patience thanks again for being such a good host. Excited to see the video. Sorry bout your dive computer. You worked hard to lose that thing

Very cool! Looks like a great trip!

'Cept the computer part. Perhaps we can go back on a rescue mission.

Wow. Jesse, those were worth the wait!

Really great shots guys!!!!!
Man you guys are Awesome!!!

Amazing!! Good job guys

Great photography! And I know how hard is to get the mirror shots too

I'm thinking that your tiny little nudibranch in the last photo is a Eubranchus rupium. The cerata don't have the grape-cluster look of a Doto, and there are flecks of white. That suggests rupium. But that's just a guess. These tiny guys can drive you crazy!

Awesome, thanks Dan. I'm still waiting to find a new species so I can name it "Scubie Doo" hahah

Jonny come lately...finally got a chance to go thru the shots from this dive. A couple standouts, hope you like them;

This is the same little fellow that Jesse had on the mirror. He certainly seemed to like his picture taken! Lots of these guys, very tiny Thats all I had time for tonite...It was an awesome dive, and a great time.

Like them? Heck yeah. I love the nudi. The positioning is great and I like the colorful speckles on the kelp. And you also got a shot of the little "star of the day."

Great shots gdog!!

super cute shots Gdog.
Friendly Fish are the best!!!

Nice shots Gdog. I'm sure that mosshead is blind now! Great colors and the nudi is quite artistic.

Thanks all!

Way cool dive reports and pics, guys!
