Jet, I really like the seahorse shots.

See you tonight! I think we are diving the trail, then heading east tonight. If you see an overweight balding 40 year old white male near a white F150 in the parking lot, come say hi. I usually park near the playground, but I might park closer to the east side today.

You guys have fun!! Take plenty of pics! No big deal I'm stuck in the middle of this snowstorm in the Northeast!!!! I'm not jealous at all...

Ok I just had one of the maintenance guys drill a hole through the handle so I can add a lanyard. Almost lost it again today. Sheesh. Set it down to adjust my mask and ??where'd it go?!?

Reminds me of one of the most interesting and time-consuming incidents I've ever witnessed under water - and on a night dive, too. Ever seen two (or more) lanyards - on the same arm - twisted together??

^^^ arrrggghhh.. and they all use similar style and sized clips....

No. Never happened to me. LOL



Vis was pretty decent tonight. I was pleasantly surprised. Camera acting wonky again. Hoping the shots of the lesser electric ray turn out, it was every bit of 18"!!!

Fun dive tonight with Mr Chen! Got to meet Scuba Jenny and Synonymous.

Love seemed to be in the air again tonight. Although two different kinds of slugs is kinda weird....


More nudis:



A few other critters:



And finally.....Bobbit worm! (saw 2)

Nice night dive tonight even though I was a bit under-weighted and accosted by a small Eagle Ray...Found two lined seahorses and a longsnout, jawfish, flying gurnard, yellow stingray, eagle ray, etc. Computer showed 70deg when I got out.

Can anyone tell the name of the slug in tjtimmy's last picture?

I think you are referring to the group of three headshield slugs. (Pusa aglaja)

The nudi is a Learchis poica......if this was the "slug" you were referring to I don't know stuff like this, but Sandra does

Amazing photos Tim. Nice meeting you Jenny and Syn. Syn, I'd like to hear about your dive.

My dive computer showed 70 for the majority of the dive, but did log a low of 69. Viz was great up through slack. I got to see my first nudis! The green ones are still VERY challenging to make out. I took some photos and am pleasantly surprised how several turned out considering I didn't have good lighting or a decent camera. I took several of the same pictures as Tim's subjects, but I won't bother posting them since they don't compare.

Tim, good find on that seahorse. I tried getting a shot of him, but I couldn't get a focused picture. The bobbit worm was cool too.

This Eagle Ray swam straight into my chest. Are they attracted to shiny objects? I've never seen that behavior before.
