We have Navanax here?!?!?!?!? :shocked2: You know they eat the nudi's, yes?


It's a Head Shield Slug Chelidonura hirundinina. They eat flat worms.

One of the species I found a couple of weeks ago changes colors based upon which nudis eggs it eats.
 
I love the colors on teh 2nd starfish shot, and the batfish was a real poser.

Some shots from today. I dove the west span while most others dove the east (no pile-ups on the clover leaf!)

I brought my camera up to critique trim shots from yesterday with two AOW students, and didn't want to leave it in the car while we were in the water, so I took it along. I only have a wide lens, so I really wasn't expecting to take any pictures, but the viz was so good I couldn't resist firing off a few more trim critique photos.

Nice shots Kev. I have thought about doung W/A at the bridge, but never have.
 
Made it out to BHB this morning with a few of my buddies. While I was there, I saw lots of other divers and even had a chance to chat with fisheyeview and his wife Kelly (sorry Kelly, forgot your online username). We even joined fisheyeview, Kelly and a few other divers for lunch after the dive - thanks guys for the advice and for the lunch invite!

Fisheyeview and Kelly gave me some great advice on where to find the real tiny stuff, unfortunately, I didn't get the info until after the dive, so I didn't get any shots of the nudis I was looking for, but I'm definitely ready for the next BHB dive!

I did manage to get a few keeper shots of some bleenies, which took over some old bottles on the bottom and designated them their new home.

Looking forward to my next BHB dive!!!:D
 
The viz dropped off a bit from yesterday, but ever optimistic, I toted the rig, 10-17 and all. Everyone kept talking about all of the frogfish, but all I could find was a pile of seaweed and rocks. I don't see what's so great about this place.
