    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    Jet, Great find on the lesser electric ray. I have seen two in south Florida and the last was on a dawn dive at The Bridge in front of the life guard station in less than 6' of water. They are very shy so getting any shot is wonderful. I know one photographer who will not be named that actually...

    You are aware that BHB high tide is approximately 8:08 AM on 12/28 and 8:46 AM on 12/29 with the best diving about 45 minutes before high tide to 45 minutes after high tide?

    New Oly M4/3 camera + housing coming!

    If these prices are right, didn't they just price themselves out of the market? Camera prices are almost the same as a full DSLR now without the quality of a full DSLR. My Pany 45mm macro lens give far superior image quality to the kit 14-42mm lens. This housing is almost the same price as a...

    Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

    It is only slightly off topic. since I do shoot at the bridge, but does anyone have experience with Olympus E-PL3 (or E-PL2 or E-PL1 for that matter) with 45mm Pany and diopters? I want to try shooting super macro. Right now I have the Olymus E-PL1 with the 14-42mm kit lens, Oly housing, and two...

    What is this creature?

    Be careful! They will attack you! Actually they are just sticky and will cling to you. Then you look like an idiot when you come out of the water. hehe They come in a variety of colors, may be closed up, may be opened up, may be actively combing the water, or even free swimming at times. They...

    Urchin?

    I don't reccomend picking up the scorpion fish or petting the stargazers, but I have been known to do it myself. I have heard lesser electric rays can jump up and zap you before you realize what happened, but they are usually quite shy. Two things to watch are eel bites and cat bites...

    Urchin?

    I find them at BHB occasionally. They are usually buried so they are hard to spot. It thought it was called a sand mouse. Be careful, those spines are sharp and will go through your glove and your hand with very little force. Bill

    The continuing sagas of the Blue Heron Bridge

    Does anyone have an extra submersible pressure gage lying around? Looking for one that goes to 4000 PSI. The one that is bad has the plastic cover and was the standard size Ocianic console, whatever that was! Would like one that does not have so many scratches on the dial that you can't...

    Anyone besides me bothered by how little we know about sea life?

    We got to dive with Ned and Anna last night. We were looking for a pregnant striated Frog Fish, but Ned found a Juvy Short Bigeye (a deep water fish) in about 10 feet of water. So, yes, they are still working on constanting updating the Reef information. Anna found an eel that may not yet have...

    The continuing sagas of the Blue Heron Bridge

    Now you know I don't drink! The grey angel fish were over a foot long. Good sized fish! You delfinitely felt them bite! It was almost 3 hours after high tide and many bigger fish start to show up about that time. The big parrot fish come swimming by, but pay you no mind.
