That's great! Until now, I just thought it was some kind of octopus cupcake.

Thank you Bob for providing such a great description of this area since I don’t dive that site. Thanks also for posing such a vivid safety scenario. Before sharing a response, I want to say that my concern now is that the surviving dive buddy may read our posts and be in any way...

The doctor who just put my knee back together has me on a minimum two-month SCUBA hiatus while on crutches and the post-surgery pain meds have been slightly different than nitrogen narcosis. I got in a few good photo and video dives Dec-Jan but withdrawals are getting stronger and May/June...

This youngster was not ready to come out and play yet but posed for a few good shots.

That poor post-mating Daddy GPO sure is mental. It’s pretty tough to watch him slip further and further into Octo Alzheimer’s. Momma finally grabbed my camera for the first time during a still shot. Just before she grabbed the camera, it looked like this. I wish I could post the video of her...

This shot clearly shows her watching the camera.

Yup, GPO "Giant Pacific Octopus" Yes we have slang for other species. For example, we commonly refer to the Hexanchus Griseus as the "Six Gill".:D And the Rhamphocottus richardsoni is a Grunt. The Grunt Sculpin is also frequently referred to as the "Spastic of the Sea". If you ever saw one...

Wow, those are the best octo egg photos I've ever seen. Nice clarity. That must have been one fantastic dive. :thumb: Thanks for sharing. :beerchug:

For many of us, diving is a lifelong mental therapy. :) But you can come up for a day and get great mileage out of it. I'm heading back down tonight. :thumb: DeepDog :beerchug:

This little guy was first seen at about 60 feet out in the open. We followed him for about five minutes down another few feet. They're not too fast :) This began about eight feet west of the rope near midspan at high tide. The size was probably between two and four inches long. The only...

I photographed this little guy on December 12th 2003 near the shore of the Junkyard.
