Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

[jet126]

My work schedule is such that I was able to meet Jim for another dawn dive this morning. I have great news for tonight's divers: vis was as good as it gets - 50+ feet of clean blue water, temp 72. Plus very little current this morning. We just floated along.

We saw three seahorses, including a pair doing the "not fighting" dance. Big southern ray, a squadron of at least 10 spotted eagle rays, an area I dubbed the "octopus garden" because there were so many in just that one area. On the way home I called Tall Guy, like always. I said "another once-in-a-lifetime dive." He said "you mean another once-in-a-weektime."

Changed settings to f8, iso 100 and "rear flash" (not sure what that means but it seemed to help) This photo is pretty much straight off the camera. I just cropped a little and added my name.

nice. Glad you had a good dive. Was thinking of you as I was getting ready for work.. sigh...

I was thinking of you, too. That single seahorse that I posted was in the same area we were looking yesterday.

And I think Dan may be on to something. In spite of cake and all manner of eating out for TG's bday weekend, between 2+ hours yesterday and again this morning I've lost 3 lbs since Friday. Call it the "Diver Diet."

That's it. I need to go on a divers diet.. ;D

Not to be skeptical but I was kinda waiting for a Dan Volker bridge dive supplement banner to cruise across the top of my forum page........
Jet-
not sure how hard your imaging down there but I've yet to lose weight under the bridge unless you count returning that newbies weight belt with like 50 lbs on it!

What days now and no Mental Block Flicker filibuster???? What is happening?

An aside note, everything from the playground entry west has been an octopus explosion on our last 3 dives so it must be prime time.
Judging by the number "not fighting" they are preparing for the next gen.
Considering pg ++ rating for last night dive video!

What a great evening dive! 4 octopi, and I wasn't even looking!

Dan, that's a very interesting thought about energy levels and diving. I'm going to see if I can find that drink you recommended and give it a try.

Nice to see the temps going up. I think I will head out before the end of the week. Any more night dives planned?

Hygienist is gone to a funeral today, so brung the laptop to the office to see if I can make some progress on this weekend's pics. Pretty disappointing, for the most part, though.

Is it *May* already??!!
