Northwest Dive Club

This Thursday was not your typical ThThTh. Scubie Doo, Gdog, and I met at 5pm to get a dive in before the WSA meeting at the MAST center.

Visibility was excellent allowing us to see many of the usual creatures seen at Redondo. There were many very small Octos out, Sailfin Sculpins at the big pipe, and Jesse and George found at least 3 Lumpies in the shallows on the south end. Wish I could do more ThThTh dives.

This was my 2nd dive trying out my tripod setup. I had just set it down and ready to do a little video of a Stubby and before I could adjust anything it leaped into action.

Here's what I was able to capture. Sorry ScubaJess, you may not like this.

Wow!!!! That was sooo awesome and kinda sad all at the same time!!! Great job filming that! I like how he turned so many colors & the shrimp had mad escape skills too!

It was so good to see you Brad! Hopefully we can dive with you soon!! Have a great weekend!

Brad that was epic! Very cool! I took a shot of a Stubby a couple years back, and when I was looking through the pics later, realized he had a partially eaten shrimp he was working on.... Thanks for diving with us, the vis was incredible! 40'+ easily. Hopefully we get more vis like that this winter.
I didnt grab any shots even close to what you did Brad, but here are a few I took;
This was a cool find that Jesse pointed out....This Snailfish was unusually colored, and posted up vertically on a piece of pipe or something. Not a good shot, hopefully Jesse has a better one Really a memorable dive, even with all the rain. Hope it stays!

Brad, that was awesome! It looked like the stubby shot an arm out like a cuttlefish. I’ve never seen that before.

Thanks George...its fun to find things in pictures that you didn't notice earlier. That Snailfish shot is amazing and can't get enough pics of PSL's.

I Love the shots of the two long arms that squid have for nailing their prey. Such a great capture of a not often seen behavior!
