Hi,

We went out (Dave) in a beautiful day, good weather. But when we look under the hood a different story was to tell.

First dive 3:30 PM was on a new site (for us) pleasure beach. Yes, just next to the nuclear plant. Vis about 2 ft....or less. Everything dead...no plants no starfish no nothing....wondering if it is too close to the plant (not recommended at all). After the deception we went for a treat to Stonighton, low tide better conditions. Still bad vis about 5ft. water temp about 54.

We saw plenty of life...but with such bad vis these are the only shoots worth it....I liked the crab riding the bigger guy :) it is like a scene extracted from Sponge Square Box....there is no doubt there is lazyness even in the underwater world.

aaah looks like you've got some really nice pictures there. haha i look scared. yeah, pleasure beach was pretty boring. Stonington was good, except for the foggy mask. i'm ready to go again!
 
Despite the lousy conditions, you still manage to get pictures worthy of any dive magazine. You photography skills and quality of equipment shows. You are really good at focusing that camera and getting candid shots.

Nice pictures
 
Well I did download one of your pictures and I zoomed in 1000 : 1 and noticed a slight blemish in one of the pixels.
