Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

[Scuba_Jenny]

Well, apparently you're wrong. Two hours is enough dues to find a Frogfish at the bridge.

I found a Sargassaum Frogfish right at the end of our dive. Unfortunately, my camera battery died; but djtimmy's was able to get the shot.

I'm still gathering the data, but here's the low-down:
2 hours, 17 minutes.
78 degrees; noticably warmer than yesterday.
Max depth 12 feet, again.
Viz was about 20 feet; double yesterday.
We dove the west side of the bridge again.
And saw: Octopus, Blennies, Crabs, BB shrimp, two different Nudibranchs- and a Reticulated Sea Slug, Anemones, Flounder, an Octopus Fight, That weird shrimp that djtimmy posted, Bluethroated PikeBlenny, Stingray, A Sea Spider, and the aforementioned Frogfish.

MrChen, how was work? (BTW, that's evil )

So still no dwarf? :evil:

No, of course not. I'm...pacing myself! _{Yeah, that's it! She'll believe that!} I still have tomorrow. What's the fun in seeing everything on the first day?

 

[Scuba_Jenny]

Of course.. If you saw everything today, no reason to go back tomorrow.. sleep in.. yeah..

Not sure why the SB Gallery is being so persnickety today...looks like pics will come tomorrow. (Assuming it works tomorrow)

A little Easter Sunday (night) funnies..

OK here are some pics from saturday's dive....starting off with the Sargassum FF that T.C. found:

The pike blennies:



A weird tiny yellow blob:



Sea Spider and Nudis:



Blenny and tiny sponge decorator crab:



I thought it was a total fluke before, however came across another one of those crazy shrimp (Phyllognathia simplex) This one was smaller than the last one. Looking at it from the naked eye basically looks like a tiny scrap of hydroid. Processed a little heavy to make it stand out:



Had a great dive with T.C. looking forward to next time he is down!

Well, I'm home again. Awesome pics as always djtimmy.

Thanks to everyone who contributed, and a special thanks to MrChen, jimw, DiveDivaDM, djtimmy, JahJahWarrior, and downto60, as well as their friends, for great dives and great conversation.

Once I have my photos downloaded, sorted, edited, [-]and photoshopped[/-] , I'll post the best ones.

Once again, thanks to everyone for a great trip. I look forward to doing it again.
