Cleaning up my gear now. I will go through the pics to see if any worth posting. Yesterday I watched a small bottom dweller fish, about 2"-2.5" long that looked like a sea robin without the color. Sandy colored. It had feelers out front like a goat fish and moved only mostly on the feelers. Any idea what it might be? It was by the boat ramp in about 3' of water.

Sea robin for sure. The skate judging by the marks I can see is I think a clearnose skate. Nice pictures.

Beautiful morning at FT W. First in although there were a couple divers gearing up. Vis down to maybe 5-6'. One tropical, juve butterfly fish the size of a quarter tucked in a rock crevice on a wall about 12' down. After the first dive, the parking lot was full, half kayakers half divers. A film crew as well. A marine specialist was being filmed about what she and a group were doing, something to do with Northern Star coral. Total dive time 70 mins on a 63. 48 first dive, 22 second. Water temp 68. Great to be out and under.
Just checked the few pics I took and while not clear I did capture a blurry image of the butterfly fish. I original thought it was a banded because of the prominent vertical dark band on the front and back but it also had yellow so more likely a reef or spot fin, at least that is my best guess.

Ft Wetherill Sunday seas looks quiet, but viz might be shaken like a snow globe.
