A fine example of rampant alliteration in the thread title 
(Oh and very nice pictures, thanks for sharing).

This is the key to seeing stuff:
Being able to hover and helicopter help.

My buddy and I dove there April 2nd, a beautiful day above and below with about 25' visibility.
We spotted a huge Cabezon in the same area, perhaps the Daddy (or Mommy, I didn't check) of the one you photographed? The slope was crawling with Dungeness, encouraging to those of us looking forward to crab season. Quite a few flounder, too.
What incredible colors! You have a great eye for underwater life. I'm going to take your advice and slow down.

Thank you, Steve.
You need a light to see the colors. They are there but without the light source you just can't see them. I use a focused HID for buddy communication but when I want to light up a *scene* I adjust it to flood rather than spot.
You don't need an HID to see the colors though. Any dive light is better than none but of course bigger is better for seeing color... and brighter is better for diving in the daytime.
The built in flash on my camera does OK for lighting close in shots but is useless for anything over two feet away. On some of these photos I have color corrected to eliminate the green cast caused by too little light. Our eyes and brains can make the correction underwater but the camera needs help with white balance.

Uncle Pug:
that's what has given me just over an hour on an AL80
, and there's more to see in the shallows than in the deep abyss.
OP
Spotted today at Mundane Mukilteo...
Actually spotted just about anytime and anywhere he wants.
