Nice, I have yet to see one of those but of course my eyesight isn't good enough to find one on my own anyway.
Thanks for posting.

I would never have seen one either if it weren't for a couple of local divers here. Good buddies

The thing I see even less than lumpsuckers is pipefish. There are very few places I see them around Victoria. Nice video. I like the wide-angle with the light in the shallows if that makes sense. What site was that?

I have seen two at Kelvin Grove in the intertidal zone. Nice vid! Thanks.

Kelvin. Oodles of Pipefish there and in the eel grass at WC. As soon as we dropped down I saw one SLS. Then a long time later my partner saw another SLS but between her and I looking, we lost it again. At the end of dive 2 we saw the one SLS in the video. All told about 120 minutes of very slow diving at no more than 25' (avg 15).
