Scott, are shots #2 and 5 of the same critter? #5 is a cutie!

Nope. #2 is a Saddled Blenny. #5 is a Hairy Blenny.

Then I guess I like my Blenny's hairy. :shocked2:

 

[fisheyeview]

Yeah, #5 was a nice find today. Normally they are hiding in their homes, with just their heads sticking out. It was nice to see one just hanging out.

You know what they say, "once you go hairy you never go back."

Yup, we all did. Maybe a little wavy, but not particularly difficult. Out on the reef it was pretty surge-y, but viz was fine. Go for it!

Ditto dat, what KBeck says. Yes, a little surf break, and a bit of surge, but not enough to keep this group of 11 intrepid divers out of the water. One gal caught some bugs, we saw sharks and turtles. Plus all the usual suspects. Followed by lunch at Lou's Giant Sub Shop, then an assault at Fill Express, a good time was had by all.

I'm sold! Thanks

I didn't know Hobbits dive.

What do you think pony tanks are really for? Nice pics, by the way.

Do you have big hairy feet too?

Do you have big hairy feet too?

And, they're probably webbed, no need for fins!

No, that's Gollum.

You know what they say about guys with big hairy feet.

 

[joystershell]

But what about those hairy blennies that I'm so fond of?

I am a size 13. Fortunately though they are not matted with hair and I'm over 4 feet tall.
