Blue Heron Bridge Trolls

[havnmonkey]

I just realized I have training during the day next week, so my nights are free (not normal for me). I might be down for a night dive, haven't been there after dark in a few years.

We went for the 5th day in a row today--a new personal record!! Viz fell off a bit to 25-30ft at the start and much less as the tide turned, 10-15ft. Temp up slightly--the Suunto indicating 82 at times and 81 otherwise. West again--saw good stuff and some horrible divers. The place was CROWDED with divers and kids as yesterday was the last day of school. There are scheduled night dives next week on Wednesday and Thursday--check Pura Vida and Force E Facebook under events.

A few pics from yesterday and the day before--6/5 and 6. We saw a little octo grab a box crab and tote it kicking, etc to it's hole--very interesting!

The other octo has been on that light fixture, south side of the west bridge; for a time--it yesterday had a big bristle worm attached to it--check it out if you go this weekend!! We are guessing it won't work out well for the octo...........

So that's how Octopus's do their equivalent of picking up Domino's on the way home from work...

I had one last PTO day to burn before July so I took Friday off, booked a two-tank in the morning and caught the 15:27 high that afternoon. When I did the math I realized it was a pretty big day! (215 dives at BHB?!? Tall Guy says I'm nuts) Thanks Jenny for joining me and for taking my pic!



Here are a few others from the dive:

There was a pair of divers who kept circling around as we watched this guy. They were Silt Monsters, and kept tangling their flag line with ours, as we stayed still. The fish kept hiding when they passed by, and then coming back out of his hole when they left. Dive better, see more cool stuff!

Is that last octo eating a FIRE WORM??

Jah Jah, the divers were HORRIBLE on Friday. I was shooting a small scorpionfish and had a group of people swim over me. Then just as I finished shooting a SH, a class swam over me, I had to physically grab the one ladie's fin to keep from getting kicked in the face as she passed. Then as we were shooting another critter a class came by. The worst of them was the guy carrying the flag. He was so over weighted that he was bouncing along the bottom on his knees and flailing his fins trying to get lift. BHB might be an excellent training site, but the instructors should at least make sure the students have had some pool work first. As an aside, none of us are perfect. All of us have inadvertently kicked up some stuff, bumped a piling with a fin, or planted a hand on something we shouldn't have. Not giving us a free pass, however, blatant disregard for the environment in the effort to push students through to get trained is no excuse. Bad diving is bad diving.
