A buddy and I burned 2 tanks at a nearshore reef off of Hilton Head this Sunday. Vis was about 15-20 feet. Surface temp. 59 bottom @ 54' was 55 degrees. We saw the usual fish around the structures but while we were securing the anchor a bird flew by us!!! I've fished around here for the past 15 years and have seen them dive to 15 or so ft but we were both pretty surprised to see it swimming by at 54'. It stayed under for quite awhile trying to catch a meal. (I might have to talk to my dive shop and see what they are putting in our tanks).
Also, the fish ID book is incorrect in the "reaction to divers" describing a Carolina Hake. I was a little curious seeing a fish with little legs so we watched it for awhile. After flashing my speartip he proceded to bite the end and try to take it from me. We left him in his hole but were both surprised. Glad it wasn't my finger.
